The Tycho versions plugin may allow us to keep the pom.xml and MANIFEST.MF versions in sync. https://github.com/sonatype/sonatype-tycho/tree/master/tycho-release/tycho-versions-plugin/src/main/java/org/eclipse/tycho/versions/manipulation http://software.2206966.n2.nabble.com/release-plugin-and-tycho-td5626263.html http://software.2206966.n2.nabble.com/Version-numbering-nightmare-td5024327.html
We have been using this plugin for quite some time now. (See http://wiki.eclipse.org/Linux_Tools_Project/Releng#2_weeks_before_the_planned_release_date). I think it's safe to close this bug.
