[David M Williams <david_williams@xxxxxxxxxx>]

I don't know about "0.0.0" ...
but, I've used 
version="" 
in target files and it has worked fine.

Of course, I do this only temporarily,
while getting things working ... once ready for production, I do specify
whole, exact version. 
But, I would not be surprised if even
constructs such as version="[1.1.0,2.0.0)" would also work? (Though,
admit, have not tried that -- and IMHO, not as good as specifying exact
version).

One reason exact version is important,
is that some times (especially for third party bundles from non-Eclipse
sources) they may not follow the same "semantic rules" we do
-- they might introduce an API change or breaking change in behavior just
going from 1.1.0.<qualifier> to 1.3.0.<qualifier> --- hence
for a truly reproducible build, need to specify whole exact version. 

There are also functions in PDE target
editor ("update") that will help with some of the tedious work.

Is this still true? I believe this documentation to be outdated. 
Selecting content from a target definition deffinetly changes the build
behavior.
Could anyone comment on this, please?
