for snapshot versions, replace '-SNAPSHOT' with timestamp '.{yyyymmddhhmmss}'

[missedone]

for snapshot versions, it's better to replace '-SNAPSHOT' with timestamp '.{yyyymmddhhmmss}' so that when the actual snapshot updated, the user can use the new build otherwise, user won't see the update.

the behavior will be similar as what Maven Tycho plugin did, update the version in MANIFEST.MF, and appends to bundle file name

Not sure if my last commit is what we want. Strange is, that the feature version is still using some hash but the testng plugin does use the timestamp qualifier...

for released version (e.g. 6.9.12), that's good, i don't mind the hashing suffix of the feature jar as long as the feature.xml is correct. but yes, that's weird.
I think when dealing with the snapshot version (replacing snapshot with qualifier timestamp), we will learn more about that then.

with help of stempler/bnd-platform#20, commit 444b700, the output now looks quite good:
