Alright:
Pending other opinions we then have the following base download sites:
Pending the NatTable project discussion this would be:
Everybody cool about these names?

Nightly *was* a standard
word in the Eclipse community, it reminds me the time when

healthy.
Latest is interesting, but latest what? latest release,
latest test build...? It is not precise enough I think.
I could advocate for Snapshots for years, we probably need
more opinions rather than debating for weeks just the 2 of
us ;)
How about "continuous" then.
I'd be OK for "continuous-integration" or "ci". The first one is
probably better for people who do not know CI... poor them.
Deal?
We could also include some eclipse release name.
(indigo/helios)
Hopefully we will provide builds that would work with 3.5
and later. Binding a build to the name of a release will
make people think that the release is a requirement for
installation.
Yes, but at some point this will no longer work. Because it
is a matter of time before people start using touch API and/or
restyling and other stuff that will break compatibility with
older SWT releases.
So let's wait for this time to happen. Maybe having a compatibility
table on the download area with the list of releases for Nebula and
the list of releases for Eclipse with green checks or red cross in
it would be easier to maintain and clearer for consumers.
Also, I think that incompatibility will only happen happer for a few
Nebula widgets. In that case, we should not prevent someone on a old
3.5 Eclipse to install (let's stay) the latest version TableCombo
just because the latest Gallery would only support 3.8+...
Having "normal" numeric versioning + a compatibility table for
widgets could be clearer.
I also want to think about things as long term support
(LTS) where we must be able to fix Nebula bugs against older
versions of Eclipse (but that is a separate discussion).
That's a topic I did not think about, and I am not very aware of;
but it is indeed very important... I'm clueless.
