Our product's client have 10+ plugins,so I create feature&site for them.
the problem is when I upgrade version(e.g. from 1.0.1 to 1.0.2),I have
to change the 10+ plugins manually 1st,then change feature&site's version,
then can rebuild the site.
So my question is 'Is there a way can do it automaticly?'

Another problem is for buildid,when I use site project build,how to create
a dynamic buildid for the product?

PS.I think the eclipse should have the same problem when release a new
version.
Eclipse project how to handle it?

You can always use java.util.Manifest to manipulate the manifest files
of the plugin projects to set the plugin ID.

Because in eclipse code changes determine the version numbers - http://wiki.eclipse.org/Version_Numbering changing the code in a new stream implies manually changing the version numbers.

Are you supplying code fixes in your 1.0.1->1.0.2 upgrade?

In eclipse, all manifests contain entries like: 1.0.1.qualifier

During builds or exports, eclipse/PDE will replace the qualifier (usually with something like v20090814) so that during development, this week's build has a greater version number than last week's build.

All this to say, in eclipse we manually change 1.0.0 to 1.0.1 when we update the code in the new stream.

As I saw,in most eclipse project.there are something like "Build id: {0}"
in
about.properties.so I dont know when I build site.xml,how could I let the
{0}
be a real build id.e.g. '200908171211'(the value=real build time)?
