This wiki page describes how we increment our bundle versions.

You only need to change the bundle's major version if you make a breaking API change.  This is because changing API this way could potentially break someone using the API.  Adding new API or changing non-API code in a externally visible way only requires that the bundle gets an increment to the minor version.

If you set up PDE API Tools in your workspace with the correct API baseline, the tools can warn you if you have made a breaking API change.

Hello everyone !
I’m beggining into the APitool world, and a somes questions.
How eclipse is able to keep plugins version below the eclipse product ? 
As I’ve instderstood and tried,  if we follow the APItool rules, each time an interface change, the major of the containing plugins is upgraded. So between two eclipse versions how it’s possible when following the apitool, to not upgrade the major version.
 
Thanks for your help_______________________________________________
