Re: Best way to create daily SNAPSHOT updates in autoupdate center?

The actual implementation is on github. It works exactly the way I hoped it
would. The main downside is that I'll need to remember to configure every
plugin manifest to include "OpenIDE-Module-Implementation-Version".

Add filtering to manifest files:

Parse major/minor/incremental versions out of "1.2.3-SNAPSHOT" and append ".
yyyy.MM.dd.HH.mm":
