Our recent move to git caused some confusion on how we tag/branch components in JBoss Tools core components.

h1. Current Tag/Branching strategy

To avoid future confusion here are the short version of the current approach:

1. Each component has its own version in manifest.mf/pom.xml/feature.xml* This can be set quickly using mvn -Dtycho.mode=maven org.sonatype.tycho:tycho-versions-plugin:set-version -DnewVersion=1.2.3-SNAPSHOT

2. The git repositories should use tag/branches based on jbosstools version:* Branches: jbosstools-<version>*x* ("x" used to differentiate a branch from a tag)*
*Tags:            jbosstools-<version> (no "x" suffix)

3. In Jira use the jbosstools version for reporting/targeting issues.

The advantage of the above is that git & jira use the same version. i.e. with a unified tag like "jbosstools-4.1.0.Alpha1" you can find which version is used of a specific component for a specific jboss tools release easily.

This means from git you always know which branch/tag to checkout for a component to get matching version to a specific jboss tools core build/release. 

With Jira we would need to introduce a project for each individual component since Jira does not support version per components and thus jira queries for knowing current status of JBIDE suddenly gets very complex.
