[Q] Should we use "1.2" and "1.3" instead of "12" and "13"?
Hi,
I'd like to have your opinion. The idea would be to change the valid
values for our j2ee.api property. From "12" and "13" to "1.2" and "1.3".
Rationale:
- The API values are 1.2 and 1.3, not 12 and 13
- We have to make conversions whenever we want to display the values
- Users do not always immediately realize the value represents a version
when 12 or 13 are used
Consequences:
- our directories need to be modified. For ex: target-12 --> target-1.2
- the distributable file names will be changed:
jakarta-cactus-13-1.6dev.zip --> jakarta-cactus-1.3-1.6dev.zip
I'm ok to make the move if you're ok.
What do you think? Any drawback?
Thanks
-Vincent

I completly agree, "12" and "13" are stupid values.
However, I wanted to use them to be consistant with the Maven J2EE plugin
(http://maven.apache.org/reference/plugins/appserver/properties.html).
Have a nice Sunday!

Sounds like a sensible change. I'm in favor.
