-------------------------------------
Summary: 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
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.
