             Summary: define how to handle ide.properties and avoid parent pom to always change
                 Key: JBIDE-18820
                 URL: https://issues.jboss.org/browse/JBIDE-18820
             Project: Tools (JBoss Tools)
          Issue Type: Task
          Components: build
            Reporter: Max Rydahl Andersen


As illustrated in JBIDE-18806 our current setup of how ide.properties and project versioning are not working or at least we seem to not get it updated right.

Current workaround applied is that parent pom now again defines the global version even though this is not reliable at all since not all plugins will be rebuilt. (see JBIDE-13452 for earlier attempts on this)

Opening this jira to make sure we walkthrough and write down which values should be in ide.properties and what level (4.2.0.CR1, 4.2.0 or 4.2. etc), when they get updated (hopefully rarely) and how to avoid parent pom from always having to respin because of a maintanence release.
