[snip] Well, I see Fluido from a customer's view in the same category as Tomcat - you do not release a component where other users build upon API-wise. Even worse, our components are often used by other third party libraries that are used to build applications. *Therefore* we take care. See, when I start a global build in our company the reactor contains over 400 projects. I am quite sure that without dependency management I'd end up with every single release of commons lang in my local repository that has ever been made. The only reason why this works, is that all involved people ever took care that the 1.x to 2.x was binary compatible for years (at least for an upgrade). Now, we introduced lang3 and first components depend on it - which is fine. But I realize that I might not get rid of lang 2.x probably for the next couple of years. I am glad, that we have the possibility to use lang3 with its up-to-date API, but I am also glad that I currently don't end up with lang1, lang2, lang3, ... to lang9 ;-) [snip] - Jörg --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: dev-unsubscr...@commons.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: dev-h...@commons.apache.org
