<div dir="ltr">Thanks for the details Fred. This change doesn't break our API usage because we just depend on some m2e-core internal APIs which don't appear to change with that changeset. <div><br></div><div>Speaking of which, looking at just this one commit: <a href="https://github.com/fbricon/m2e-core/commit/29e014e49fb2cb442ed2f935590ad1c296a2dfe2">https://github.com/fbricon/m2e-core/commit/29e014e49fb2cb442ed2f935590ad1c296a2dfe2</a></div><div><br></div><div>For org.eclipse.m2e.core API I don't see any non-internal API changes, thus there is no reason here to necessitate a 1.6->2.0 jump. That leaves the jars that are bundled in the maven runtime will change with the new archetyper 2.3 version. So I guess that is where the 1.6->2.0 major version bump is required right?</div></div><div class="gmail_extra"><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Thu, Mar 19, 2015 at 11:39 AM, Fred Bricon <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:fbricon@gmail.com" target="_blank">fbricon@gmail.com</a>></span> wrote:<br><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex"><div dir="ltr">Greg, <div><br></div><div>only internal m2e classes have been modified, but the archetype runtime doesn't expose the same Maven classes anymore (org.apache.maven.archetype.Archetype -> ArchetypeManager) so... it might not even apply for a major version bump after all. that's debatable I guess.<div><br></div><div>Here's the extent of the changes, so far : <a href="https://github.com/eclipse/m2e-core/compare/master...fbricon:archetyper-2.x?expand=1" style="border-bottom-width:1px;border-bottom-style:solid;border-bottom-color:orange" target="_blank">https://github.com/eclipse/m2e-core/compare/master...fbricon:archetyper-2.x?expand=1</a></div><div><br></div><div>If we can keep on with 1.6 with these changes, fine by me :-)</div><div><br></div><div>The downside of moving to 2.0 is a lot of m2e extensions would probably need to be rebuilt if they use version ranges like [1.0, 2.0).

In our adopter product we have code that looks like this:</div><div><br></div><div><div>final ArchetypeManager archetypeManager = MavenPluginActivator.getDefault().getArchetypeManager();</div><div>final ArtifactRepository remoteArchetypeRepository = archetypeManager.getArchetypeRepository( archetype );</div></div><div>...</div><div><div>final List<IProject> newProjects =</div><div> projectConfigurationManager.createArchetypeProjects(</div><div> location, archetype, groupId, artifactId, version, javaPackage, properties, configuration, monitor );</div></div><div><br></div><div><br></div><div>I'm assuming you mean some of these APIs will change in incompatible ways in the proposed m2e 2.0? Well I guess ArchetypeManager was always marked internal, so its fair game to be changed even if m2e doesn't go to 2.0. But the IProjectConfigurationManager was "API", so is that one of the interfaces that will undergo breaking change in 2.0?</div></div><div class="gmail_extra"><div><div><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Thu, Mar 19, 2015 at 10:00 AM, Jason van Zyl <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:jason@takari.io" target="_blank">jason@takari.io</a>></span> wrote:<br><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex">Is there any downside at all to upgrading?

<br>
Honestly I doubt anyone has tied into the guts of Archetype aside from you and really I think it's a small price to pay if the odd party is. You've updated the code and I assume made it easier to deal with so I only see upside.<br>
