We definitely need something like this.
As this current scenario clearly showed it.
We (as in MC) have just too many components to make them play nicely
to be releasing new official versions for every fix/update made.
And it's sometimes only the Hudons runs or full TCK that show something
went wrong.

Nightly builds: hibernatetools-3.0.0.GA-N200902130014-H1427
Release builds: hibernatetools-3.0.0.GA-R200902130014-H1427
Makes it all perfectly ordered and cutting edge users can go from
nightly updates to the actual GA release auotmatically.
Gives long names but I'm fine with that since the order brings more
benefits.
