[ https://issues.jboss.org/browse/JBIDE-22355?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugi... ] Mickael Istria commented on JBIDE-22355: ---------------------------------------- {quote}one suggestion made is to even abandon the use of alpha/beta/etc. and just use sprint numbers, something like 4.4.0.s114{quote} If we still want all content we produce to have such a label changed from time to time and to have older builds still mentioning older sprint, then it won't change anything. the BUILD_ALIAS would just have different value, but the issue is having a BUILD_ALIAS that change with time from one version/sprint to another and that we want to propagate it.. To avoid constantly updating parent pom, it has now been identified multiple times that it implies getting rid of mentioning the milestone in artifacts we produce, and rely only a timestamps (build timestamp would be a 1st iteration, JBIDE-13671 could be considered in a 2nd iteration). If the only requirement is to have GA or Final labeled differently, then we can simply have a dedicated variable or profile to set when doing a GA. Something like BUILD_ALIAS=SNAPSHOT by default, and when doing a GA, we build with "-DBUILD_ALIAS=Final". -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v6.4.11#64026)
