[jbosstools-issues] [JBoss JIRA] (JBIDE-13671) Replace build timestamp in qualifier by last-mod-timestamp from git

    [ https://issues.jboss.org/browse/JBIDE-13671?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=13262676#comment-13262676 ] 

Nick Boldt commented on JBIDE-13671:
------------------------------------

[~mickael_istria] So you're saying you want the JBT aggregates and devstudio artifacts to always use the CURRENT TIME instead of the last-mod time in github? That makes sense; the alternative would be to introduce "touch" commits into the jbosstools-build-sites and jbdevstudio-product repos to force those timestamps up when we actually want them increased.

Since jbosstools-build-sites contains no artifacts (only update sites), using jgit timestamps does seem confusing.

However, jbdevstudio-product contains artifacts (plugins, features) and products  (installer, update site), I think we might need to use a hybrid approach there. I would think only the update site pom (which includes the .product file) and installer pom should be using a raw timestamp instead of jgit.
