Any other comments here?  Was this discussed in the PMC?  Do we need to 
discuss on Thursday?

My feeling is that, to users, they would expect to see 2.0.  I think 1.6 
would be confusing to them.  Raghu is right though, to developers, bumping 
to 2.0 might set the wrong expectations.

RE: [wtp-dev] What to do about feature  version numbers?






I have moved JSF to version 1.0. 
 
For WST and JST, my preference is to follow the guideline and stick to 
1.6. 2.0 sets the wrong expectation of major changes in those projects.

Subject: [wtp-dev] What to do about feature version numbers?
 

Many of our WST and JST features are still versioned 1.6, which is what we 
bumped 
to right after 1.5 was released. 

My thinking is that the WST and JST features should be versioned 2.0, to 
match "WTP 2.0". 
This does not technically match the guidelines put forth in 
http://wiki.eclipse.org/index.php/Version_Numbering 
which would recommend a bit closer relation to the type of change in 
contained plugins 
to the feature version ... which means we should leave our features at 
1.6. 

It seems to me, though, that users looking at a list of installed features 
would expect 
them to match 2.0. In other words, seems to me, the JST and WST features 
are more 
of a "marketing number" related to the major yearly release, rather than a 
runtime constraint 
as the plugin versioning is. 

What do others think? 1.6? 2.0? Don't care? 

BTW, I do think the JPA and JSF features should be 1.0, since this is the 
first year of 
their release.
