[Jboss-dev-forums] [Design of JBoss Eclipse IDE (dev)] - Re: update site version numbering blues

[<max...@jb...>]

went to the EMF site and found the following docs at http://download.eclipse.org/tools/emf/scripts/docs.php?doc=docs/UsingUpdateManager/UsingUpdateManager.html

"If you're installing from the Eclipse.org update site, you will not see the 4th part of the version, that is, you will see 2.0.0 instead of 2.0.0.R200406280827. Note also that due to the way that Eclipse handles plugin versioning, to update from 2.0.0.I to 2.0.0, or 2.0.1.M to 2.0.1 is not possible. You cannot update from a 4-part version to its equivalent 3-part version, since Update Manager considers that 2.0.0 < 2.0.0.R. You can, however, upgrade from 2.0.0.R to 2.0.1.

So, to move from an I or M build to its Release, you must either uninstall/disable that version and install fresh, or update from 2.0.1.M to 2.0.1.R (not 2.0.1), keeping that 4th version part intact."

so they have the exact same problem.

they solve it in to ways...

#1: tell users to disable the installed feature and then let the user select the proper version
#2: add an .R to the end to make it "higher" then any nightly/integration build
