[osgi-dev] making an existing interface method default causes MINOR baseline change

[Raymond Auge via osgi-dev]

Hey All,

I think the answer is "Yes it's a MINOR change", but I wanted to clarify.

Assume I have the following interface in an exported package:

public interface Foo {
   public void doFoo();
}

And in the same package I have abstract class Bar which implements Foo:

public abstract class Bar implements Foo {
   public void doFoo() {...}
   public abstract void doBar();
}

And I want to migrate to a default method because doFoo() logic rarely
changes:

public interface Foo {
   public default void doFoo() {...}
}

public abstract class Bar implements Foo {
   //public void doFoo() {...}
   public abstract void doBar();
}

Can someone explain why this is a MINOR change?
