Hi Wayne

See https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=437107

The Luna experience was that in the absence of tooling, all projects MUST use the same Guava, which should be the latest in Orbit.

Mixed Guava is a disaster. So far nobody seems to have moved for Mars.

If we are to move, I think we should all aim to move in I-builds immediately following M6.

There may be a maintenance issue. e.g. Xtext 2.8.0 is out,so moving to Guava 18 might force a 2.9.0.

I feel that barely a day before M6 is too late to request this.

    Regards

The Buildship (Eclipse Plug-ins for Grade) project should be joining Mars soon. They're using Guava 18, which has already been approved by the IP Team. I believe that m2e has designs on it as well.

Can those projects that are currently using Guava 15 update to version 18?

More generally, I think that we need a policy for these widely-shared libraries. Intuitively, it makes sense to me that we should try to use the most recent version released in Orbit with the simultaneous release.

Thoughts?
