Howdy.
All recent editions of my tools (semantic, eieio, and speedbar) now
have a function called `PACKAGENAME-require-version'. JDE currently
has its own compare function. The version requirement in my tools
will know when a new release of a tool is not BACKWARDS compatible,
and otherwise will allow newer versions to be used with a JDE released
with an olderversion. It would be up to Paul to know when a needed
feature was introduced.
I recommend that the JDE use these functions, as it will prevent
this type of problem with new releases in the future.
I would guess it is ok to use eieio 0.17 with the JDE as it passes
the EIEIO 0.17beta4 tests.
