[arquillian-issues] [JBoss JIRA] Commented: (ARQ-200) Change version scheme for containers

Change version scheme for containers ------------------------------------ Key: ARQ-200 URL: https://jira.jboss.org/browse/ARQ-200 Project: Arquillian Issue Type: Task Components: GlassFish Containers, JBoss Containers, OpenEJB Containers, OpenWebBeans Containers, Weld Containers Affects Versions: 1.0.0.Alpha3 Reporter: Dan Allen Container versions are currently identified by appending an abridged version number to the end of the container's groupId. Examples include: Remote JBoss AS 6.0.0 == jbossas-remote-60 Remote JBoss AS 5.1.0 == jbossas-remote-51 Remote GlassFish 3.0 == glassfish-remote-30 Embedded Weld == weld-embedded While these versions seem obvious now, as we accumulate more and more containers, it's going to become less clear how the abridged version numbers map to real version numbers. I recommend that we match the real version number more closely by simply replacing dots (.) with underscores (_). We should also use the least specific version number and establish the convention that any Arquillian container version <= the target container version will work (i.e., we add a version when there is a breaking change in the API of the target container or we switch to a new management API). Remote JBoss AS 6.0.0 == jbossas-remote-6 Remote JBoss AS 5.1.0 == jbossas-remote-5_1 Remote JBoss AS 5.0.0 == jbossas-remote-5 Remote GlassFish 3.0 == glassfish-remote-3 Remote GlassFish 3.1 == glassfish-remote-3_1 Embedded Weld == weld-embedded-1 An open question is whether the minor version should be included for the first major version of a container (e.g., jbossas-remote-6 or jbossas-remote-6_0) This task requires renaming and repackaging most of the existing containers. We should do this as early as possibly, preferrably before 1.0.0.Alpha3.
