Torsten, =20 Sorry for the late reply - I think I finally got it ;-) =20 Regarding the version number, it's OK to stay with 1.0.0 if that is = recommended for Eclipse plugins. (I noticed this with FreeMarker's = Eclipse plugin too.) I'll also leave the file name as-is if you say it = is viable :-) =20 I'll do the actual upload to SourceForge together with Spring 1.0.1 on = Sunday. I'd also like to announce the plugin release in the Spring 1.0.1 = announcement mail. =20 So if you encounter any issues till Sunday, feel free to address them = and send me a new zip. Has anyone else already tried this plugin = release? =20 Juergen =20 ________________________________ Von: spr...@li... im Auftrag = von Torsten Juergeleit Gesendet: Mi 07.04.2004 18:01 An: spr...@li...

The file http://springframework.sourceforge.net/spring-ide/eclipse/updatesite/upda= tesite_1.0.0.zip is not a "normal" archive with Eclipse plugins which you can unzip in the Eclipse plugins folder. Instead it's a copy of the whole update site http://springframework.sourceforge.net/spring-ide/eclipse/updatesite/ which you can download (and use locally) if you are sitting behind a restrictive proxy / firewall (like me :-( ) which does not allow your Eclipse update manager to install Eclipse plugins via an internet connection. Distributing Eclipse plugins via the Eclipse update manager mechanism is the way recommended by the Eclipse team. The update site (which allows to install the plugins via Eclipse update manager) should be IMHO our preferred distribution channel. The additional file release is only a goody for corporate admins supporting a network installation of multiple Eclipse users or Eclipse users behind a restricted proxy. With the update site we have no information about the download / usage count. But who cares about numbers ;-) IMHO using the prefix "spring-ide-" for the file release of the update site is redundant. This prefix is the same as the package name of the corresponding file release. So we will have (in addition to the already existing file release package "springframework") a new package named "spring-ide / eclipse" or "spring-ide-eclipse". For an example please refer to the old SpringUI file releases http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=3D99715 > Regarding the version number, we use "1.0" rather > than "1.0.0" with the Spring distribution itself, so > it's probably advisable to use the same numbering > scheme with the Eclipse plugin. Hhmm, the versioning schema for Eclipse plugins / features / fragments is <major>.<minor>.<service>. Quote from http://www.eclipse.org/documentation/html/plugins/org.eclipse.platform.do= c.isv/doc/reference/misc/eclipse_install.html : "... The version identifier follows the format defined by Eclipse for plug-in version identifiers (see javadoc for PluginVersionIdentifier class). It is a 3-part numeric identifier consisting of major, minor and service components (eg. 2.4.11) ..." No problem with an initial release 1.0 but how about maintenance releases? Btw. where should the Eclipse update site be hosted? Is http://springframework.sourceforge.net/spring-ide/eclipse/updatesite/ ok? If we are hosting it on http://www.springframework.org/ then we need a place to upload new versions ready to be transfered to our website. IMHO sending new versions via mail is no viable option.
