Hi committers/contributors
I’ve now merged the change which enables this on ‘master’.
From now on the 1st time a plugin is changed after a release the gerrit build will fail with the following message if the version number is not incremented.
“Only qualifier changed for (org.eclipse.cdt.managedbuilder.ui/9.1.0.201810090947). Expected to have bigger x.y.z than what is available in baseline (9.1.0.201810050005)”
In some cases you may see an error indicating the number has gone backwards. e.g.:
“ Version have moved backwards for (org.eclipse.cdt.managedbuilder.gnu.ui/8.3.0.201802081917).”
If you see this it important to check there aren't any missing commits from the current branch as this indicates unmerged fixes relative to the last release.
When updating the baseline it can be helpful to let the build continue past these errors, so you can find all plugins which need version number increments quickly. Adding "-DonIllegalVersion=warn"
when calling maven will change the error to a warning.

I need a day or two to check it's working properly before merging the commit anyway.
However I'll merge the commit which just bumps the version numbers on plugins where the last commit was before the 9.5.4 build. I need need a fully signed CDT build with those versions fixed to check everything will work correctly.

I’ll have a few questions if you don’t mind to wait a little bit.
Hi all
After some discussion with Jonah I’ve pushed a change to enable Reproducible Version Qualifiers for CDT. With this enabled the qualifier for a plugin is based on the last git commit time rather than the build time. Additionally it incrementing
the major, minor or patch segments when changing a plugin after a release, it is not enough to rely on just the qualifier.
If anyone has any comments or objections to this please comment on
