Hello,

Comments:

1) I  agree to adding the comments to the  Javadoc comment section of 
the DerbyEclipsePlugin, so they can be referred later.
2) Yes, the <maint> is the 'interim', which Andrew referred to - the 
third element. The full build version is included in the plugin.xml file,
    which the users can quote while communicating. It will show up in 
Help - About Eclipse Platform - Plug-in Details of Eclipse.
3)  The version of  10.1.0.0_v<build number> was based on the plugin  
versioning scheme used by Eclipse. You can read more about it at:

      
http://dev.eclipse.org/viewcvs/index.cgi/platform-core-home/documents/plugin-versioning.html?rev=HEAD

    Eitherway, I tried using the normal Derby versioning (example: 
10.1.0.0 (111298M) ) in the plugin.xml, which worked fine.  So we can go
    with the Derby versioning if  everyone feels that is the right approach.
4) I would also like to propose the name 'Apache Derby Core Plug-in for 
Eclipse' instead of just  'Apache Derby Core Plug-in' for this plugin.

Please do let me know and I will update the DerbyEclipsePlugin.java file 
accordingly to reflect the above and send it to the list for review.


Regards,
Rajesh
