Is anyone using maven2 for eclipse plugin development? I've got my
plugin pom setup to build everything and construct the final zip file.
The issue I'm trying to wrap my brain around is keeping my feature.xml
and site.xml files up to date with the correct version info. Since I
can't use versions like 1.0.0-SNAPSHOT in my plugin, I have to munge the
plugins pom version into something like 1.0.0.v${DATETIME} and insert
that into the plugins descriptor (plugin.xml). Since the version in the
plugin.xml changes I have to update the plugin entries in the feature
descriptor (feature.xml), rev the feature and update the site.xml with
the new feature version. Just curious to see if anyone else out there
is struggling with these same issues and what if any solutions/band-aids
have been implemented.
Thanks in advance!
