Ralf Battenfeld commented on SHRINKDESC-151:
--------------------------------------------

I am working on this. It is not an trivial task and needs some time. There will be things which are unknown to me and have to be address when it comes up. I mean when a version introduces for example a new top level type which do not exist in the older versions. I will see ...

> 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/org/jboss/shrinkwrap/descriptor/api/webapp/WebAppCommonDescriptor.java
> Sub Interfaces: 
> https://github.com/forge/javaee-descriptors/blob/master/api/src/main/java/org/jboss/shrinkwrap/descriptor/api/webapp25/WebAppDescriptor.java
> https://github.com/forge/javaee-descriptors/blob/master/api/src/main/java/org/jboss/shrinkwrap/descriptor/api/webapp30/WebAppDescriptor.java
> https://github.com/forge/javaee-descriptors/blob/master/api/src/main/java/org/jboss/shrinkwrap/descriptor/api/webapp31/WebAppDescriptor.java
> The generated code doesn't need to change either. The existence of the super interface is what matters most.
