Berin,
Either way the effect is the same.
Should I have the ability to change a lifecycle interface without it being
concidered backwards incompatible.
Sorry dude, I'm still not quite there. It is not so much of a declaration as an ambiguity. This from me being the worst master of the English language in this mail list.
Is the declaration? : We will try not change any of the lifecycle methods from now on for Components. If we do, we *will* maintain backwards compatibility.
If you had to ask me (again Excalibur is not my area). I would say do not bother worrying. We have less than ten publicly known about projects based on Avalon. There are less than 30 in total I guess. If we were talking about the servlet API there would be war if backwards compatibility were not maintained.
Regards,
- Paul
