Anyone want to take a vote on this? :-) Thoughts, not vote. #2 I've gotta figure having 2 interfaces that are mostly equivalent would have to cause problems. #3: AIUI, that means creating a jarjar'd 3.x and an adapter jar that exposes the 2.x API. Pro: end user apps have a stable API between minor AS releases. Con: Hibernate and/or EJB3 integration is likely stuck using 2.x APIs/the adapter, unless those projects are willing to support and integration module that uses the jarjar'd 3.x packages. TBD, after CR2 is out, since CR2 is near at hand and is my focus. #1, I don't know how much that screws you up.
