Coming soon (unless there are violent objections) we're looking at using
the jgit timestamp provider when building plugins/features so that
instead of a build containing all the same timestamped IUs (and
therefore causing more things to change between
builds/milestones/releases, and more things to need to be
installed/replaced) IUs will only get a new timestamp IF the code in
github changes.
More info here:
https://issues.jboss.org/browse/JBIDE-13618
If this will cause untold devastation to your test suites or end user
expectations, please comment in the JIRA.
Cheers,
