    [ https://issues.jboss.org/browse/JBIDE-12320?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=12715138#comment-12715138 ] 

Andre Dietisheim commented on JBIDE-12320:
------------------------------------------

There's an interesting guide to evolve REST APIs in OpenStack. It states what's acceptable for them and what's not:
http://wiki.openstack.org/APIChangeGuidelines
In general terms only additions are acceptable. Removals or semantical changes are not.Generally speaking I'd pretend that the very same should apply to what we should be able to expect from OpenShift. 
On the other hand https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=838611 shows that semanitcal changes can happen and I guess that we'll never be at 100% safe from these. Relying on graceful evolution of our client side classes wont be possible I guess.

> the REST protocol that we use to talk to the OpenShift broker was bumped to 1.1 today. The change that triggers it is a change in the cartridges that you get reported when listing them on a application. We have to support protocol 1.1 for the openshift-java-client
