http://nagoya.apache.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=15764 API changes break backwards compatibility with Axis 1.0 ------- Additional Comments From [EMAIL PROTECTED] 2003-01-03 18:44 ------- One issue with the eclipse paper is that it assumes a hard boundary between public API and private implementation. But in the OSS world, there is nothing to stop anyone having modified versions of source, relying on CVS to merge diffs. So we have an extra compatibility requirement, 'minimal source changes' between revisions. This is hard, as just to stick with Apache layout rules, adding a try/catch clause around some code forces it to be indented. But we can try and minimise gratuitous code cleanup or do it in a way that merges well. Maybe we should aim for easy cross branch merging and stop there.
