Description David Williams CLA 2006-02-06 16:12:32 EST
Learning from a comment in 

https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=125801#c9

we should eventually use 
generateFeatureVersionSuffix=true 
in our build.properties. 

I only say "eventually" because of the current bug with underscores. 
After that's fixed, we should use to get correct automatic feature version 
updating. For now (for 1.0.1, we'll have to carefully check visually and make sure the released version of the feature follows an appropriate monotonic style. 

<quote>
When using ".qualifier", the resulting feature version can take the form of
1.2.3.qualifier_suffix, where qualifier will come from the cvs tag, or date the
same as for plugins.  suffix will be generated based on the qualifiers of the
contained plugins.

Whether or not to append the _suffix to the version is controlled by the
property "generateFeatureVersionSuffix" in the builder's build.properties.  The
default value is false.

has been fixed for a while, mechanics seem fine .. not sure it really works at runtime! (just never tested).

This is part of a mass update to close out all stale WTP defects already verified by the reporter but awaiting closure by the assignee.  If you feel this defect was closed inappropriately, please reopen.

Thanks, John Lanuti
