Replacing -SNAPSHOT in version strings

[Simon Goodall <si...@minimaxlabs.com>]

I am using the maven bundle plugin to generate my bundles for some of
my projects. My pom version string has -SNAPSHOT and this is also used
as a literal in my MANIFEST.MF file for the bundle and package
versioning. Is it possible to replace SNAPSHOT and use a build
qualifier of some kind? I am deploying my bundles in a p2 repository
for use in tycho and -SNAPSHOT is interpretted as a literal string -
so newer builds of the plugin have the same version.

I've looked at using the BuildQualifierMojo from the tycho project -
but it would be good if there was a "proper way" to do this in the
bundle plugin.

Regards,

Simon

There are some macros in bnd* that can help you manipulate the Maven
version, for example:


 <Bundle-Version>$(replace;${project.version};-SNAPSHOT;.$(tstamp))</Bundle-Version>

Note the use of parenthesis '(' instead of curly braces '{' which stops
Maven from interpolating the bnd-specific macros.

(* used by the maven-bundle-plugin to generate the manifest, see
http://www.aqute.biz/Bnd/Macros )
