Re: [platform-releng-dev] Version moved backwards in JDT and other place

computation as most of those changes don't cascade to binary change and
the compare-with-baselines mojo detects issues in case binaries are modified.

When was that
change made? At least the latest build did not report a comparator or version
error. Do you have a bug number?

Well, this looks
like a bug in your tool then. There is no reason to change the version,
so, the tool also must not report it. If the tool can't handle that, then
we have to suspend it until it can.

So, a big -1 from
me to change versions if not necessary.

Please read carefully my previous message
which explains the cause. The change is in parent pom and impact qualifier
computation. No issue about clock or whatever. 

Some version bumps and .settings changes
are required for API tools verification at built time.
There are 2 ways of dealing with it:
one implies bumping a few bundles even if there were no substantial change
in source nor binary, the other implies bumping a lot of bundles even if
there is no substantial change in source nor binary. The former is what
I implemented, also because it's semantically more correctto not bump versions
when only .settings change.

I'll see tomorrow which bundles are affected
and provide patches. Maybe the list.of.bundles with only prefs change in
latest commit is much longer than I ewpected.
