Add ability to add version numbers to the eclipse jar file

NOTE: Implement in the ePublisher 2009.3 release:

EPUB263  Eclipse Help - Add ability to configure manifest "Bundle-Version"

Summary

Would like the ability to add a version number to the jar file.

Detailed Description

We are using FrameMaker 8 and Word 2003, ePublisher 2009.1, Eclipse 3.4. We place are help jar into an infocenter.

The Problem: The infocenter was not updating indexes (on the client workstation) when help was updated or added to the server.

The Solution: To add a version number to each new jar placed in the infocenter. This forces the infocenter to rebuild all its indexes and push the new help to the client workstation.

But, in order to add a version number we have to do it manually. Right now we have to unzip the jar file, go to the META-INF folder, open manifest.fm and find the Bundle-Version: x.x.x and change it. It would be nice if sometime before we generated the jar file we could change that version number.
