[jbosstools-dev] Moving to Tycho 0.13.0 / Source plugin generation

[Nick Boldt]

Everyone,

Today, we build JBoss Tools w/ Maven 3 and Tycho 0.12.0 (0.10.0 in the 
32x branch).

Soon, I'd like to move us to 0.13.0 [0].

Max has expressed concerns that building with 0.13 is slower than with 
0.12, but looking at some anecdotal evidence, I see that the change is 
not significant:

Core:
#875, Sep 01, 3284 tests, 00 failures, 4hr01min, Tycho 0.12.0
#891, Sep 06, 3284 tests, 16 failures, 3hr43min, Tycho 0.13.0
#953, Sep 28, 3366 tests, 00 failures, 4hr24min, Tycho 0.13.0

SOA:
#60,  Sep 04, 502 tests, 00 failures, 1hr18min, Tycho 0.12.0
#160, Oct 06, 511 tests, 00 failures, 1hr09min, Tycho 0.13.0
#164, Oct 07, 511 tests, 00 failures, 1hr34min, Tycho 0.13.0

This is a heads-up that the parent pom will be upversioned shortly from 
0.0.2-SNAPSHOT to 0.0.3-SNAPSHOT (some time next week) to reflect this 
change, and that all jobs in Hudson will begin running w/ 0.13.0 instead 
of 0.12.0.

I'm also going to be upversioning the parent pom so that anyone who 
can't yet make the changes described here [1] regarding generation of 
source plugins won't be impacted for M4. (That said I believe everyone's 
already fixed their incomplete build.properties files.)
