Description Vikas Chandra CLA 2021-04-14 08:30:35 EDT 
Few times, inspite of the the service segment already increased, the developer tends to increase the service segment by 100. All such scenarios are currently detected if the major or minor version is already increased. But in the scenarios when major or minor version is not increased, then redundant increase of service version should be detected as unnecessary version change. Similar for minor version. If minor version is increased once, it should not be increased again. API tools should warn about redundant increase.

I increased the service segment for JDT Debug plugin and I got the error  

"The micro version is increased unnecessarily since either major or minor or micro version is already increased"


Should it be micro or service segment?
https://wiki.eclipse.org/Version_Numbering -> Says service segment.



Something like this -

"The service segment is increased unnecessarily since either major, minor or service segment is already increased"

We can change it to service version in 4.21. We are calling it micro version for last few years at least but I guess we can change it to service version.

Please open a bug for 4.21
