{quote}If you build the o.j.t.foundation.core plugin, as I did here passing in -DBUILD_ALIAS=foo, you will see in the currentversion.properties that the variables are correctly expanded. {quote}

The test is that the BUILD_ALIAS you pass in via commandline (or via Jenkins job) appears correctly in the jar's currentversion.properties file, instead of the unexploded $\{jbosstools.version}.

> 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.
