[jbosstools-dev] Feedback on new TP naming ?

[Max Rydahl Andersen]

Nicks email from earlier talked alot about how things are built - and I think it might have been missed so i'm outlining it here:

Would be great to hear if anyone spot any issue with applying this naming to our target platforms in general, i.e. for layered builds like integration-stack.

More precisely its:

jbosstoolstarget-4.20.5.Final  (the -SNAPSHOT is just temporary for now)

Which in general consist of:

<"thing being targeted">target-<eclipsemajor>-<eclipsemajor+minor>.<revision>.<quality>

So for jbdevstudio targeting Kepler its jbdevstudiotarget-4.30.0.Alpha1.

If integration-stack made one and had 3 changes/release it would be something like this when it goes final:

jbosstools-integration-stacktarget-4.30.3.Final

We could also just version them completely independent of eclipse version number but it seems useful to be able to actually see what release its core dependencies are based on.

Input/thoughts ?

I would like to avoid renaming these things constantly so please speak up now if you see a problem :)
