Re: [tycho-user] Combine tycho-versions-plugin with tycho-buildtimestamp

[Igor Fedorenko <igor@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Generally, I strongly advice against using different version formats for
release and snapshot builds. It is okay to add qualifier suffix, like
you appear to do, but anything else makes release and snapshot version
not comparable and breaks upgrade scenarios between snapshot and release
builds.

Having said that, it is possible to control format of version qualifier
generated by tycho-packaging-plugin using <format> plugin configuration
parameter. It takes java SimpleDateFormat string (default is
yyyyMMddHHmm) so you can add ${milestone.version} there if you really want.

I don't deploy Tycho artifacts to Maven repositories so I have no
experience in this area. I think what you want requires changes to
tycho-versions-plugin, new mojo that will generate versions based on
project's configured timestamp provider. Should be relatively
straightforward to implement and I can give you some pointers where to
start on tycho-dev if you want to try.
