Re: [jboss-dev] Compatibility between common-core and broken up commons

Currently there doezn't seem to be any compatibility declared between the old commons-core and broken up commons (commons-logging etc). It seems JBAS 4.2 uses common-core, but JB 5 uses the broken up commons. So an application (e.g. JBM) which uses common-core (and has all other dependencies aligned with the AS) will work fine with AS 4.2, but won't be guaranteed to work with JB5, since there's no guarantee AFAIK that common-core and broken up commons are compatible. At the moment AFAIK they are compatible - but isn't this a "hope for the best" compatibility. I.e. what's stopping someone from making an incompatible change to the broken up commons? Shouldn't we be definining some kind of hard compatibility between the jars? Especially with the new RHEL style, highly tested platform releases where we need to be sure everything works nice with everything else. _______________________________________________ jboss-development mailing list jboss-development(a)lists.jboss.org https://lists.jboss.org/mailman/listinfo/jboss-development
