[jbosstools-dev] ACTION REQUIRED: Prevent your component from installing in Luna (if it's incompatible w/ Luna APIs) :: JBIDE-16082

TL;DR: If your component: * has to change in the *master branch* in order to *compile with* or *install to* Eclipse 4.4 (Luna) You must: * ensure that in BOTH the *4.1.x and 4.1.1.x branches* it will NOT be *installable* into Luna. See JBIDE-16082. Please make this change in time for the CR1a respin (by EOD, Friday Nov 22). ---- Details: In JBIDE-15639, a number of components have been shown to not compile w/ Luna: Server, Arquillian, Hibernate, Forge. These components must therefore be updated in master branch (for JBT 4.2 / JBDS 8.0) to be compilable w/ Luna (Eclipse 4.4). This ongoing work needs to be done by next week's code freeze. But the converse should be true, too: if the code must change in master to *compile* with Luna, then the Kepler-based release should *probably* not be *installable* into Luna either. Component leads, you're the experts for your own code. If you agree, then please adjust one or more MANIFEST.MF files to set an upper bound limit on a Bundle-Require, which will prevent your component from being installed into Luna. Here's an example of how to *verify you've prevented your component from installing into Luna*: https://issues.jboss.org/browse/JBIDE-16081 If you disagree with the above, because your component depends on *nothing that changed between Kepler and Luna*, then you can reject the appropriate JIRA for your project: Forge: https://issues.jboss.org/browse/JBIDE-16083 Hibernate: https://issues.jboss.org/browse/JBIDE-16084 Server: https://issues.jboss.org/browse/JBIDE-16085 Arquillian: https://issues.jboss.org/browse/JBIDE-16086 If I've missed adding your component - and you feel your 4.1.x component should ALSO not be installable to Luna - please create a subtask under this JIRA: https://issues.jboss.org/browse/JBIDE-16082 If you discover that your component *cannot be compiled w/ Luna* - and it's not already reported - please add a subtask or linked issue to this JIRA: https://issues.jboss.org/browse/JBIDE-15639 Any questions, please don't hesitate to ask here, JIRA, IRC, or twitter.
