How to manage your Eclipse/RCP plugin versions

The short answer:

When to change the major segment: major segment number must be increased when a plug-in makes breaking changes to its API. You have then to reset the other segements.

When to change the minor segment: minor segment number must be incremented when a plug-in changes in an "externally visible" way (no API breaking and no bug fixes)

When to change the service segment: service segment number must be incremented whenever there have been changes to a plug-in between releases that are not visible in its API (e.g. bug fixes)
