Implementing semantic versioning at the java package level as opposed to bundle level. In heavily componentized systems that's a big help, assuming the Java packages make sense - to paraphrase Grady Booch, one package should do one thing and one thing well. On the other hand, if you don't care about package-level versioning and consider your bundle as one big thing on which other things depend, that doesn't help much. -Bertrand --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: dev-unsubscr...@commons.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: dev-h...@commons.apache.org
