Re: [swtbot-dev] Release 2.4.0 ?
More projects are starting to get build errors because of the SWTBot missing dependency. Maybe we should go ahead with the release a.s.a.p.?

It will also be useful for users to get early visibility of some changes in SWTBot 2.4.0 so they can update their code in time for Neon, such as:
- deprecated classes and methods related to SWTBotView menus (https://git.eclipse.org/r/68108)
- change (fix) of thrown exception when Menu/MenuItem not found (https://git.eclipse.org/r/70418)

While we're on the subject of releases, do we always step every SWTBot plug-in to the same common version? In some projects we only step the version of plug-ins that actually change, it is quite easy to do with the API tooling.

Potentially (if no new API is added until then) we could release 2.4.x instead of 2.5.0 in June?

Hi all,

It's been reported that the current 2.3.0 release of SWTBot isn't compatible with Neon. As many projects as part of SimRel are using SWTBot, it seems necessary to provide a way for those to consume SWTBot using something more stable than a snapshot.
Marc-Andre suggested that SWTBot could produce milestone builds, but I believe that since it's simple enough to create a release of SWTBot, a 2.4.0 release would be better ASAP.
This 2.4.0 would be released mainly to include support for Neon, but everything that's currently in master would be released by the way.
If we do a 2.4.0 release, it means that we'll go for a 2.5.0 release in June with Neon.

What do you think about this plan?

sounds good
