Fred Bricon commented on JBIDE-18837:
-------------------------------------

So after a chat with Max we agreed that :
- micro version lock was not necessary
- moving the version string to a different plugin than foundation is not practical
- we need to enforce foundation dependency at the minor level (X.Y), in all plugins consuming foundation, i.e. central and examples for now.
- all micro releases should use the same config in ide-config.properties, i.e. once the first GA is released, we should always find key|context|X.Y properties
- we need to create tests that would run daily and that check that :
   * there are no unused keys in ide-config.properties (to catch typos)
   * all urls defined there are live

>             Project: Tools (JBoss Tools)
>          Issue Type: Bug
>          Components: build, central, common/jst/core, project-examples
>    Affects Versions: 4.2.1.CR1
>            Reporter: Nick Boldt
>             Fix For: 4.3.0.Alpha1

> When updating from 4.2.0 to 4.2.1, a user might decide to only update Central or Project Examples, and NOT update Foundation.core, which means his Eclipse will still think it's 4.2.0, not 4.2.1, and he might get the wrong version of central/examples.
> Therefore we need manifest-level [4.2.1,) requirements on upstream foundation.core in examples and central, to force this lock-step updating.
> And we need to use the maven enforcer plugin to fail the build if these versions get out of sync.
