Sure, and this is actually also what eclipse "simultaneous release" means -
some projects release several times, some only at that time; but all are keeping an eye on
that 1 a year big release and additional 2 bugfix releases to make sure their stuff gets
done for it. in other words - without a planned "big" release nothing would
actually work together ;)
We'd find your team's experience and advice from working with the Eclipse
simultaneous release process a valuable resource, when the time comes for us. No doubt, we
are the newbies in this realm ;)
Ok, I misunderstood the eclipse module, I thought that they only did major releases of the
"modules" at the time of a simultaneous release. In this case, we are doing the
same idea :-)
How does eclipse manage it's issue tracker?
