[jbosstools-issues] [JBoss JIRA] (JBIDE-15368) jbosstools-server has API Compatibility problem

jbosstools-server has API Compatibility problem ----------------------------------------------- Key: JBIDE-15368 URL: https://issues.jboss.org/browse/JBIDE-15368 Project: Tools (JBoss Tools) Issue Type: Bug Components: server Affects Versions: 4.1.1.Alpha1 Reporter: Denis Golovin Priority: Blocker Labels: api-compatibility Fix For: 4.1.1.Alpha1 Latest version from jbosstools-server/jbosstools-4.1.x branch has API Compatibility problem: "The field org.jboss.ide.eclipse.as.core.util.IJBossToolingConstants.WILDFLY8_MANAGEMENT_PORT_DEFAULT_PORT in an interface that is intended to be implemented or extended has been added". According to http://wiki.eclipse.org/Evolving_Java-based_APIs_2 || Interface change || Conditions || Compatibility || |Add API field|If interface not implementable by Clients | Binary compatible| |Add API field|If interface implementable by Clients| Breaks compatibility (2)| (2) Adding an API field to an API interface that is implemented by Clients (e.g., a callback, listener, or visitor interface) breaks binary compatibility in a different way. A field added to a superinterface of C may hide an instance field inherited from a superclass of C, causing linking errors to be detected. Because of this fact, it is important to distinguish between API interfaces that Clients should implement from those that Clients should merely use. API interfaces that Clients should implement should not include fields.
