Comment #14 on issue 493 by owen.oma...@gmail.com: protobuf-java (2.5.0)
GeneratedMessage#getUnknownFields() not implemented
http://code.google.com/p/protobuf/issues/detail?id=493
This is more than "can only use one version." Protobuf requires that you
run with precisely the version of the library that all of your components
compiled were with. So you if you want to use protobuf 2.5 for your
project, but you need to use project OpenFoo that was compiled with
protobuf 2.4, you need to get the sources and recompile instead of simply
using the binaries from Maven Central. Now repeat with each of the dozens
of projects that you depend on.
Additionally, most of the linux distros just give you a single version of
protoc. That means that unless you are using the default for your distro,
you need to fetch protoc and compile it too.
None of this is the end of the world, of course. Once you know about the
problem, you look for it and make sure you use the right version of protoc.
But it is equivalent to a version incompatible change in each release of
protobuf, which is sub-optimal for users who don't recompile the world by
default.
