Right, that's quite annoying to use always a new eclipse installation to test an RC. I must admit that I do not know if our build process allows qualifiers (as PDE does), but I have the feeling that it cannot be added without problems. There might be a quick and dirty solution by changing all version information after the update site was built, but then you could also just replace the plugins of your eclipse installation (since they have the same version). Are there any ideas how to include qualifiers in our build process for eclipse bundles? We could configure felix to add the qualifier to the version (or replace SNAPSHOT), but I do not know if it will be resolved. We could also directly add the timestamp. I suppose I just have to try it, but I am in favor of doing this after the release. Best, Peter > -- Richard
