[news.eclipse.technology.buckminster] Re: modifying the version qualifie

[Thomas Hallgren <thomas@xxxxxxx>]

Hi Andy,
In order to modify the qualifier you need to supply properties. We 
support the same property settings as Eclipse does. The properties must 
be passed as a property file when you perform the export action.

In addition, I've added something called "Version qualifier generation 
strategies". See https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=195639. 
If you want to try this, you can use the update site 
http://download.eclipse.org/technology/buckminster/0.2milestones/updates.

When trying that, you will also help us do testing and improve the 
product quality (that's another way of saying that what you find on that 
update site has not undergone extensive testing at this point :-) ). 
Also, our current documentation has not yet incorporated the new 
functionality so you'll have to do with what is explained in the bugzilla.

Kind Regards,
Thomas Hallgren
