sigil build requires buildQualifer to be set as a -D flag to ant in order to 
properly override default .SNAPSHOT qualifier

                 Key: FELIX-2522
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/FELIX-2522
             Project: Felix
          Issue Type: Improvement
          Components: Sigil
            Reporter: David Savage
            Priority: Minor
             Fix For: sigil-1.0.0


In order to build a "valid"/useful set of bundles for install into eclipse the 
bundle filename must be of the form <bsn>_maj.min.min.qualifier and this must 
match the Bundle_SymbolicName and Bundle_Version attributes in the bundle 
manifest.

The sigil build defaults to setting the qualifier to .SNAPSHOT in the 
bldcommon/build.properties file

However if a .SNAPSHOT version is installed in eclipse then it can never be 
updated as eclipse sees other snapshots as being equivalent. Therefore the 
release script I run to build a release has the following:

$ more release.sh
now=$(date +%Y%m%d_%H%M%S)
ant -DbuildQualifier=$now clean dist $*

It would be better to use the <tstamp /> option of ant but this doesn't seem to 
work properly

I've added:

$ svn diff bldcommon/build.properties build.xml

This results in the file name being created with the correct version but the 
Bundle-Version - set from sigil-defaults.properties is still set to .SNAPSHOT
