[Denis Golovin (JIRA)]

    [ https://issues.jboss.org/browse/JBIDE-13671?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=13199276#comment-13199276 ] 

Denis Golovin commented on JBIDE-13671:
---------------------------------------

I see only one benefit for nightly builds if nothing changed then it has exactly the same version. That would lead for less to download when updating to latest nightly.

This doesn't work for milestone releases, because of changes in version label Alpha/Beta/CR/GA.
Even if some bits features/plugins have the same names between nightly updates they all still going to be uploaded to download.jboss.org nightly update.

What are other pros for this change?
Does it worth to push at all considering we are all used to current template for qualifier?

The only change with benefits is 'v' suffix for CI vs. 'w' for local builds, so you can install nightly build and then update it form local build to test your fixes.
