Marcel Reutegger commented on OAK-6346:
---------------------------------------
Do you consider this an interim solution or would this be permanent. What's the
process to update this new base version as we approach a 1.8.0 release with a
1.8 branch if this is considered permanent?
IIUC this has some additional side effects. Adding new methods to a provider
type over several unstable releases would no longer indicate a minor version
bump after the first one. From stable releases POV this may even be desirable.
I just want to point out this change in behaviour.
If we go with the patch, can you please add a comment to the oak-core
artifactId configuration in oak-api pom.xml? This is far from obvious. Is this
really the only tweak you had to do because of m18n? I understand many package
were moved around and a number of new modules were introduced.

> The purpose of baseline plugin is to ensure that any change in api get
> reflected in exported version of the package. Currently the baseline plugin
> compares against the immediate previous version.
> This causes issue with unstable branches where new features are being
> implemented and which evolve over few minor release on the trunk. In such
> cases its possible that a new method expose in 1.7.1 gets removed later in
> 1.7.2 (as happened in OAK-6337).
> It would be better to configure baseline plugin to check against releases
> from stable branch so that we can ensure that package versions are properly
> aligned against stable versions
