Andrew Niefer
Versions are a very important aspect of any component based programming model.
With the advent of the p2 provisioning system we have greater flexibility in delivering content to users. This flexibility can expose problems with our versioning process and these problems can ultimately lead to users running untested combinations of bundles.
This talk will explain the difference between versioning your source and versioning your binaries. It will explain why this is a problem and will outline methods for dealing with it.
Andrew is a developer with IBM Rational Software in the Ottawa lab and is a commiter on the PDE Build, Equinox Framework and Equinox p2 projects. Before joining the Eclipse platform team, he worked on the Eclipse CDT project. Andrew holds a BMath degree from the University of Waterloo.
