Description Markus Knauer CLA 2012-07-18 09:00:23 EDT 
At the moment, we generate a new timestamp for the version qualifier with every build, even if the content of a [bundle, feature, etc.] didn't change at all. We should upgrade to the latest Tycho version and use the newly introduced mechanism for version qualifiers.
Comment 1 Markus Knauer CLA 2012-07-18 12:30:14 EDT 
* Tycho upgraded to 0.16.0-SNAPSHOT in order to implement this feature
** As soon as the final version is release, we should change this!
* Added the required configuration to the parent pom in o.e.r.i.releng
* Removed the 'old' builds from build.eclipse.org and initialized the repository with new builds

I suspect that there could be some minor issues in the script that assembles the repositories on the build server, but I need to see the results from some job runs over the next couple of days. Based on this experience, I'll probably need to do some minor modifications.
Comment 2 Markus Knauer CLA 2012-07-20 05:56:30 EDT 
It is working in all RAP Incubator builds now. As long as I don't see any problem, I'll leave it as it is and will upgrade to Tycho 0.16.0 (final) as soon as it is available. At the moment, there are no plans to use any kind of SNAPSHOT version in the main RAP Runtime build.
