Well if there are two of you working with *version* - and it is a part of the formal model I do not adding it back in (emphais to the current feature model).
I just did not want it in the model with nobody using it - figured it would get in the way when a real user (ie you two) came along. Do you guys mind reading over that link; talking on IRC; and then making a recommendation? Here are two alternatives to think about: - Feature.getVersion() - Feature.getClientProperty( "version" ) Strictly speaking the version should not be part of the Feature (it is not a measurement of a real world phenomenon) , it should be part of the description of the Feature ... I view "client properties" as an informal description used for one application, or used by convention. I am sure we could hunt down the formal thing (cough metadata) but life is short.
