Hi all,
the number 4.940 in version.txt has only just become meaningless - see
the recent discussion about "Inconsistent version change in SWT 4.18"
and the associated closed bug report
https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=567789
In that discussion Tom mentioned the Manifest file as an alternative
and I'm investigating that. Thanks Aleksandar, for moving that
forward.
So I'm also curious about the Implementation-Version in the Manifest
file. Does that have a well-defined meaning?
Is it documented
somewhere? Is it reliable?
It's 100% reliable as we have tools that verify that OSGi metadata is good and bumped when a change happens.
If not, wouldn't it be a good idea to have both "4.18" and "2020-12"
added to the Manifest file and/or as constants at some well-defined
location like the Library class or the version.txt file?
I wouldn't mind having eclipse sdk version (4.18) in the manifest too. It is the best place according to me for such metadata. Just have to play with the build system to make sure it's fetched from the main build and not hardcoded to prevent shipping wrong content.
My suggestion to use a map to deduct the user-visible version from
whatever inconsistent version number is embedded in the code was
actually a joke. If that's the only way, so be it, but from a software
engineering standpoint I still vote for something predictable :-).
Best regards,
Greg
