Not possible to install a release version of the eclipse-plugin on top of a snapshot-version #372

Open GoogleCodeExporter opened 9 years ago

An installation of the eclipse-plugin with snapshot version (following the 
naming conventions in: 
https://code.google.com/p/soi-toolkit/wiki/DeveloperGuidelines#Publish_snapshots
_of_the_Eclipse_plugin):

0.6.1.SNAPSHOT_2013-10-22_0158

makes it impossible to install (upgrade) a release version:

0.6.1

since eclipse (MuleStudio-for-macosx-64bit-3.5.0-201312091746) complains about 
"a newer version is already installed".
Uninstalling the snapshot-version doesn't help either, the eclipse-installation 
doesn't do a clean uninstall since it still remembers the snapshot version and 
throws up the same error message as before when trying to install 0.6.1.
The only way to install 0.6.1 seems to be in a fresh eclipse installation.

It seems like we need to change naming scheme - or routine, like never try to 
install release versions on top of snapshot versions.
At least it's worth mentioning in the release guidelines.

Verified that installing 0.6.1.X on top of 0.6.1.SNAPSHOT_2013-10-22_0158 works 
(in MuleStudio-for-macosx-64bit-3.5.0-201312091746).

Published 0.6.1.X on the download area together with a readme-file.
