Can the installer be modified to accept a version string? The version usually has periods in it, making it a string and not a number. I can also see cases where we'd want -alpha, -beta, -rc as part of the version. So I don't like the installer limitation ;) But I assume you've looked at the issue and it's not feasible to get around it, so I/we will just have to live with it. What I don't understand is why we can't leave the base defaults in build.xml as they are and just modify them in build.properties (a private non-CVS file obviously) when I cut a release? Why must I update build.xml each time?
