[hyades-dev] What does it mean for the build to update a plug-in version?


Folks,

As you probably know, a plug-in version needs incrementing whenever a fix has gone in, e.g., a fix in the 3.0.2 branch will be indicated by a change of the plug-in version from 3.0.1/3.0.1.1 to 3.0.2.  This is done so that the update manager can figure out the correct update for each plug-in, and this is only half of the story.

Eclipse workbench groups plug-ins into features, and each reference of a plug-in usually contains a reference to the plug-in version.  As a result, changing a plug-in version without updating the containing feature will break the feature.  This will be a much bigger problem once the PDE tools are used for the build.

Since I have been looking after the features, I'm asking  those who change plug-in versions to notify Vince (puzzella@xxxxxxxxxx) and me (qiyanli@xxxxxxxxxx) to avoid such breakage whenever possible.

Here's the current list of plug-ins with version 3.0.2:

        org.eclipse.hyades.execution.core
        org.eclipse.hyades.execution.harness
        org.eclipse.hyades.execution.local
        org.eclipse.hyades.execution.recorder
        org.eclipse.hyades.execution.recorder.http
        org.eclipse.hyades.execution.remote
        org.eclipse.hyades.execution.testgen

        org.eclipse.hyades.logging.adapter
        org.eclipse.hyades.logging.parsers

        org.eclipse.hyades.models.trace

        org.eclipse.hyades.probekit
        org.eclipse.hyades.probekit.ui

        org.eclipse.hyades.test.ui.datapool
        org.eclipse.hyades.trace.ui
