Re: [tycho-user] Version qualifier problems when building release candid

[<Bernd.Vogt@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

@Tobias: Thanks for the link to https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=382482

 

„In OSGi/p2 […] The qualifier is needed in order to ensure that the version number is larger than snapshots/milestones of the same release; in OSGi/p2 1.2.3 < 1.2.3.v20120613.“

 

Ok, now I understand why it‘s problematic to mix qualifier semantics from Maven and OSGi … Too bad that OSGi don’t know anything about snapshots…

 

Would it be advisable to extend Tychos version validator so that it allows the manual specification of qualifiers? The validator could simply map ‘-<qualifier>’ to ‘.<qualifier>’, e.g. ’-rc’ mapes to ’.rc1‘.
