[jboss-jira] [JBoss JIRA] (DROOLS-1101) Upgrade protobuf-java from 2.5.0 to 2.6.0

[Geoffrey De Smet (JIRA)]

    [ https://issues.jboss.org/browse/DROOLS-1101?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=13180256#comment-13180256 ] 

Geoffrey De Smet commented on DROOLS-1101:
------------------------------------------

Once jbpm-flow is compiled from source against protobuf 2.6, that failure above goes away.

*Protobuf 2.6 is source backwards compatible - but not binary backwards compatible - with 2.5. So our users can't use 2.6 with old jbpm versions, but we can upgrade without trouble.*

> From RPM discussion (BPMSPL-282)
>   Productization: protobuf-java redhat version is: 2.6.0-redhat-1, is it ok to upgrade from 2.5.0->2.6.0?
> Motivation:
> - The 2.5 version isn't build from source by productization, there is no redhat version.
> - The 2.6 version is, which means they can do security patches on it easily (= important for long term support) and it can be RPM'ed (important for BPMSPL-282, which has PM support)
> - 2.6 is higher than 2.5, so in theory this is low-risk change.
> Needed on both master and 6.4.x.
