It only makes sense to fix tycho-versions-plugin after we split eclipse-repository and eclipse-product packaging types and settle on repository descriptor format.

Comment 2 Tobias Oberlies 2011-06-24 07:33:10 EDT

What do you expect to be changed?
- For product definitions, I agree that this needs to wait for the packaging type split (bug 348586).
- There should be no need to change the category.xml - instead one should specify a "0.0.0" version for "latest version". Unfortunately, this is currently broken: bug 350236.

Comment 3 Robert Munteanu 2011-06-24 08:40:44 EDT

For my use case bug 350236 should be enough.

Comment 4 Tobias Oberlies 2011-07-26 05:05:27 EDT

There is nothing left to do:
- We won't replace versions in the category.xml. For latest version, use "0.0.0" (without ".qualifier"!)
- The version in product files needs to be replaced, but this will only be supported in the future eclipse-product packaging type (bug 348586)

I only recently learned that the versions in fact does update references (and opened bug 418013 for the missing documentation). This means that this bug report is in fact valid - it makes sense to expect that the category.xml is updated.

The workaround is to use 0.0.0 as version in the category.xml.

So should the following Gerrit patch marked as abandonned because of feature already available?

Comment 8 Tobias Oberlies 2013-10-21 11:59:14 EDT

Which feature is available? The category.xml is currently not updated but it should be - this is why this bug report is open.

Comment 9 Mickael Istria 2013-10-23 13:08:23 EDT

Sorry I misread. I submitted a Gerrit patch a while ago on this topic https://git.eclipse.org/r/#/c/6995/

Sorry, but the patch was only a small part of what is needed to fully implement this. So I decided to re-implement it instead of making you jump through the IP hoops for it:

trying to use the versions plugin 0.21.0-SNAPSHOT for tycho itself I get:

Looks like the case of no category.xml (only .product files) needs to be fixed.
