Hi : Forwarding an email in javaee-spec-users forum on backward compatibility requirements that will be applicable for all specifications. Thanks, -Jagadish From: Bill Shannon <bill.shannon(a)oracle.com&gt; Date: 31 octobre 2011 22:50:59 HNEC To: jsr342-experts(a)javaee-spec.java.net Cc: Nigel Deakin <nigel.deakin(a)oracle.com&gt; Subject: [javaee-spec users] [jsr342-experts] backwards compatibility requirements Reply-To: jsr342-experts(a)javaee-spec.java.net For years we've been following a set of rules to ensure a high degree of backwards compatibility from release to release of Java EE. While many of these rules should be obvious, we haven't written them down explicitly. Until now. Nigel Deakin, JMS spec lead, took the initiative to write these down for the JMS expert group. Thanks, Nigel! These rules are applicable to all of our specs. Hopefully you'll recognize these as consistent with what we've been doing with the Java platform for the past 15 years. http://java.net/projects/javaee-spec/pages/CompatibilityRequirements Let me know if you have any questions.
