Re: [ecf-dev] version of headless eclipse

[Thomas Hallgren <thomas@xxxxxxx>]

Hi Ted,
Please file a Buckminster bugzilla for this issue. I agree a that the 
ability to extract version or build id is important. Buckminster should 
make some kind of identifier available. Either by publishing it to the 
config.ini or by adding a 'version' command.

Regards,
Thomas Hallgren
