@jujoramos Does the addition of a new method on an interface break old code that is already compiled against the old interface? When you say it "breaks backward compatibility" what do you mean? Is it that the old class files will no longer run with the new product jar? Or is it that old code will no longer compile? In the past we treated method additions as compatible, but removing methods and changing existing methods as incompatible.
