Ralf Battenfeld commented on SHRINKDESC-151:
--------------------------------------------
I wanted to make it as simple as possible. Do you see a problem with a common package? The nature of all 'common' classes is that they are cross version compatible. I am happy if this here is as simple as possible. If not, the there are many common packages: ...api.persistence.common, ...api.webapp.common. ...api.beans.common ......
I see no technical issue having one common package but I you see one, please shout:-)

> This affects only the JavaEE API. Some usecases manipulate descriptors regardless of the version it is currently on. The API could be abstracted to a common interface so that common element types to the supported complex types could be used.
> A sample is provided in https://github.com/forge/javaee-descriptors/. The IMPL remains untouched (as generated by the ShrinkWrap generator) and common types are refactored to a super interface:
> Super Interface: https://github.com/forge/javaee-descriptors/blob/master/api/src/main/java...
> Sub Interfaces:
> https://github.com/forge/javaee-descriptors/blob/master/api/src/main/java...
> https://github.com/forge/javaee-descriptors/blob/master/api/src/main/java...
> https://github.com/forge/javaee-descriptors/blob/master/api/src/main/java...
> The generated code doesn't need to change either. The existence of the super interface is what matters most.
