Hi Max,

make it spread to others.

Personally, I think this milestone versioning issue will resolve much more quickly if a solution comes out from base Eclipse instead of WTP. In which
case, projects just have to adapt to this new support. Also, why invent a
solution now if Eclipse is already looking at this issue.

well for one, eclipse platform is very resistant at the moment since they are finalizing
3.1 and I want some of this happening BEFORE 3.2 development starts ,)

But now we have the bugs also against eclipse platform - lets see what happens ,)

Which unsupported tool ?

I'll send you the tool in a separate email.

Re: [wtp-dev] WTP feature/plugin versioning







Let's say we did increment the version number between milestone builds,
wouldn't you run into the same problem with prereqs?

Probably, but I take one battle at the time here ,)
Making WTP do it can make it spread to others.

And right now I have some prereq besides WTP (e.g. GEF and Draw2D) and
they seem
much more stable, so not the biggest problem (but a problem nevertheless)

An alternative way to tackle this problem is to insert the 4th digit
version number when you build your update site. Eclipse has a
(unsupported) tool that helps you do this. If you want to take a look at
this tool, let me know, I'll send it to you. But then again, we still
have
to deal with the prereqs, which have not updated their versions.

Re: [wtp-dev] WTP feature/plugin versioning







It is also not just an update site issue, it is also a major
pain to identify library conflicts if users upgrade/install
via a normal download.

And its also a major issue to sync up projects that uses WTP plugins -
no way to see what version they are using by manual inspection, trial
and
error...

If the minor version number were incremented (which in my view make
sense
since something really has changed and been released) then these
integration
issues will be alot less painfull - and WTP would get adapted quicker.

It seems that version numbers aren't being updated for major
milestones,

and this is causing a major problem for our update site (where we have
multiple plugins dependant on multiple milestones of webtools).

Is there any hope of getting correct version numbering for upcoming
milestone builds?

We've opened a bug here:
