Build ID: M20071205-0800 Steps To Reproduce: 1. define convertToId field in "source" projectType as "target" projectType Id 2. define converter with extension point org.eclipse.cdt.managedbuilder.core.projectConverter - set mbsVersion field for the converter to 4.0.0 ==> as a result when project with mbsVersion 3.1.0 is imported, the converter is run. However, when project with mbsVersion 4.0.0 is imported, the converter is not run. I have observed that converter is correctly extracted from ProjectType.getConverter(String convertToId) in both cases, but the conversion is not triggered for project with mbsVersion 4.0.0.
I can confirm this issue. Did you find a workaround Irit?
No, I didn't.

Why would you expect the converter defined for mbsVersion 4.0.0 to be run when a project with version already set to 4.0.0 is opened? As I understand it the converter is defined to convert old versions of the toolchain to newer versions, as well as allow converting between toolchain types.
I gather that the mbsVersion is the version of the build system (framework), not the toolchain. The toolchain version is specified using the project type identifier by appending "_<major>.<minor>.<patch>". For instance: <projectType buildArtefactType="org.eclipse.cdt.build.core.buildArtefactType.exe" id="avr32linux.managedbuild.target.gnu.exe_2.1.0" isAbstract="false" isTest="false" name="AVR32 Linux Executable"> .... </projectType> So when I want to deprecate for instance 2.0.0 and replace it with 2.1.0 I also declare the 2.0.0. toolchain as: <projectType convertToId="avr32linux.managedbuild.target.gnu.exe_2.1.0" id="avr32linux.managedbuild.target.gnu.exe_2.0.0" isAbstract="true" name="AVR32 Linux Executable 2.0.0 [Obsolete]"> </projectType> Then I add a project converter using the "org.eclipse.cdt.managedbuilder.core.projectConverter" that does the actual conversion. This is automatically executed when converting from an older MBS version but has to be called manually when the MBS version is the same.
As a side note: The "funny" version number specification is not our invention. It's designed into the MBS.
