Please consider versioning your exported packages
Hello,
Thank you all for your work on the Apache Bean Validation project.
I've just downloaded "Apache Bean Validation provider w/ OSGi metadata
(contains bval-core and bval-jsr303)" from your website. While the
bundle's manifest includes the use of 'uses' and 'resolution'
directives, I notice that you're not yet providing some of the most
basic OSGi metadata: versions on your exported packages.
May I ask, please, whether your team yet has a plan to begin
versioning the packages exported by your bundles? It would be of great
assistance to the project I'm working on if you would. Thank you!
Regards,
Mark

Hi Donald,
I know that we need to have a similar discussion within the Apache
Aries project. I'm expecting that we'll start proper semantic
versioning once we graduate and put out a 1.0 release. That means that
pulling in those bundles, we have a number of potentially unstable
package imports of the form ;version="[0.3.0,2.0.0)". It's not ideal
but still better than nothing. Do please let us know the outcome of
any dev-list discussion on the subject. Thank you!
Regards,
Mark

My thoughts, were to add versions once we leave the Apache Incubator and
become a TLP....
We could add them before then, but I've seen other groups/projects run
into issues with correctly using versions. Maybe we should start a
discussion on the dev list.
