Re: [wtp-releng] 3.1 M3 build Versioning issues blockers and self tests

[David M Williams <david_williams@xxxxxxxxxx>]

There is no way to run this particular
test as part of individual dev. tests .... BUT
there are some API Tools now offered
by the Eclipse Platform that should do some very similar
checking. 

I have not tried them, but know they
do have the requirement that with your latest-release 
code in the development environment,
you have to run a "baseline" tool that takes a snapshot 
of what the current versions are. Then
... rumor has it .... if you change code, it'd give a warning if you 
had not yet incremented service version.
Or, if you add API it'd remind you to increment minor version. 
And, I suppose, if you broke API!!!
it'd remind you to update major version. 

I suspect this would go along way to
people seeing these errors first in their dev. environment, but someone
on the project has to create the meta
(baseline) data first. 

Hope someone can have time to look into
someday and report back if it's good for the rest of us.

Helen, I'm curious is there a way to add this version
checking as part 
of the regular Test Suites for a particular project?  I think this
is a 
separate process that isn't run as part of the normal test suites that
the projects create.  I think it would help catch these errors before
they make it to the build machine, helping to make sure that the build
is clean.

Just a thought.

Dave
