| [cbi-dev] Feature was not rebuilt when the PreReg plugin changes |
There are a few features in WTP which reship plugins in the EclipseLink, for instance, org.eclipse.jpt.dbws.eclipselink.feature reships org.eclipse.persistence.dbws which is part of the PreReq.
There was a recent change in the EclipseLink and the version number of org.eclipse.persistence.dbws was changed from 2.6.0.v20140809-296a69f to 2.6.0.v20150526-c27e3f4. In the build workspace, the feature.xml of org.eclipse.jpt.dbws.eclipselink.feature has been updated to include the newer version of org.eclipse.persistence.dbws.
plugin version="2.6.0.v20140809-296a69f" id="org.eclipse.persistence.dbws" unpack="false" install-size="656" download-size="296"/>
But it looks that the jar file org.eclipse.jpt.dbws.eclipselink.feature-1.2.101-SNAPSHOT.jar was not rebuilt to pick up the latest PreReq change since there is not other changes in the feature. The version number is the old one, 2.6.0.v20140809-296a69f. This causes the WTP build to fail since it fails to find the old version of org.eclipse.persistence.dbws
I wonder why the feature org.eclipse.jpt.dbws.eclipselink.feature doesn't bump up its version number and rebuild itself to include the new PreReq. A change can be made in the feature to force the version to be bumped up but it would be great to know a better solution.
