 The PDE uses the convention of specifying <code>"qualifier"</code> as the value of <a href="http://wiki.eclipse.org/Version_Numbering#When_to_change_the_qualifier_segment">qualifier segment</a>
 to indicate that it should be computed and substituted at build/publish/export time.
 All plug-ins and features should follow this convention.
 The version manager checks that this convention is respected for every plug-in and feature that it manages.
 A violation will be marked as an error.
 A quick fix for that error will insert <code>".qualifier"</code> into the version specified in the <code>MANIFEST.MF</code> or <code>feature.xml</code> of the bundle.
 Alternatively, a quick fix to configure the project to ignore the error can be applied;
 it changes the Version Management Tool builder's arguments in the <code>.project</code> file.
