I have been doing week2week upgrades of the SDK using p2. When I go to craft a product based on features, I appear to have multiple versions of the same feature in my target (multiple versions of the RCP feature for example). However, the features only differ in the qualifier (not the human readable part either), so I really am guessing which feature to install.

Also, if I select the wrong version, export fails.

I think we need a better story around this. Is this something we're targeting for 3.5? Is it reasonable to only show the latest version of the feature (possibly with a check box that shows all versions for those developers fluent in Base 16).

cheers,

ian
