[forge-dev] DISCUSS: Forge Plugin Versioning Strategy

[Max Rydahl Andersen]

see http://www.slideshare.net/pvanderlei/osgi-versioning-and-testing slide 10.

OSGI is major.minor.micro.qualifier

and it also defines what kind of things that breaks.

First half of the presentation is not OSGI specific and just outlines good practices and
how OSGI captures it.

Second half is osgi/eclipse specific concerning the tools that are available for it
which doesn't really apply since forge aren't using osgi.

But an interesting read ;)
