Release and Versioning
- Support for using maven-release-plugin with Tycho has been contributed (
bug 342893), see release workflow docs - Added new goal mvn org.eclipse.tycho:tycho-versions-plugin:update-eclipse-metadata (bug 342893) which will update MANIFEST/feature.xml/product versions based on their respective pom versions. This is useful e.g. if you changed pom versions using maven-release-plugin. For more details about using the maven release plugin with Tycho see Tycho/Release_Workflow.
