As the maintainer of Savant, I wanted to ask about versioning of Guice. Is 2.0 runtime compatible with 1.0? If it is, I'd strongly urge you to reconsider naming it to 1.1 or 1.5 or something like that.
Savant (along with other dependency management tools) by default treats major versions as completely non-compatible and breaks your build if it notices that your dependency graph is using different majors. I can change the Guice meta-data in the Savant repository to indicate that Guice is "major-compatible", meaning that it is compatible across major versions, but this is dangerous and if 3.0 is non-compatible, things will get messy. On the flip-side, if 2.0 is not compatible at compile or runtime, the version makes sense. -bp On Sep 9, 2008, at 11:37 PM, [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: > > I'd promised Guice 2.0 for 'summer 2008', > and here we are, with ten days left before > fall 2008.
