No updates were found [message #1847452]

Hello,

I'm updating RCP application from the site, which contains the update version of application.
But "Check for Updates" returns "No updates were found".
Example:
installed version is 8.19.0.2;
new version is 8.19.0.10.
It seems that versions are compared as a Strings, and as 1 < 2 the RCP doesn't see the new version.
How to check and resolve it?

Thanks!

Finally I've found the answer in the https://wiki.eclipse.org/Version_Numbering. In the RCP applications
build number is composed of four (4) segments: 3 integers and a string respectively named

major.minor.service.qualifier

While the first 3 segments (major, minor and service) are compared as numbers, the last one (qualifier) is compared lexicographically.
So in my case it is an expected behavior.
