[cdt-test-dev] Fw: [Bug 39932] Updates not sorted numerically
|
Hey Doug -
The defect I filed against the Update Manager got rejected on the grounds
that the fourth element in "1.2.0.x" isn't supposed to be a build number,
more like "ALPHA", or "RC1", etc. (The third element is a number, but
probably isn't supposed to be a build number either.)
I've also noticed that using the update manager doesn't ever clean up the
old files. The application directories can start to get bloated.
Despite these issues, it's still pretty convenient. The Update Manager
may not be the most appropriate way to distribute new builds. Testers
should be aware of the limitations and proceed with caution.

-------
The 4th part of the plug-in version identifier is the qualifier and it is
a
string (the first 3 parts are integers).
From the API javadoc: "The qualifier is not interpreted, other than in
version
comparisons. The qualifiers are compared using lexicographical string
comparison."
See the javadoc for org.eclipse.core.runtime.PluginVersionIdentifier for
more
information.
