Description Charles Crouch 2011-10-20 20:30:01 UTC 
If you open the META-INF/rhq-plugin.xml files inside the latest SOA plugins

soa-p-5.2.0.ER5-rhq-jbossesb-plugin-as4.jar
soa-p-5.2.0.ER5-rhq-jbossesb-plugin-as5.jar

You will see the version property specified in the plugin descriptor is "SOA-5.2.0". This does not match the OSGI versioning scheme we use for plugin versions, described here: http://www.osgi.org/javadoc/r4v43/org/osgi/framework/Version.html#Version%28java.lang.String%29

The consequence of this invalid plugin version is that it breaks version comparisons, e.g. if you compare "2.0.0"  with "SOA-5.2.0" then "2.0.0" will be determined to be greater, i.e. the more recent version

The solution is to drop the "SOA-" portion from the version string.


Going forward we're planning to make our plugin deployment rules tighter so you won't even be able to deploy plugins with bad versions strings. This is covered in  https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=747702
