1. Re: Compatible version issues needs to be resolved
starksm64 Aug 4, 2005 3:09 PM (in response to starksm64)Changes:
- A ComponentRef has a SortedSet that are the set of compatible elements in an import statement:<import componentref="apache-logging"> <compatible version="1.0.3"/> <compatible version="1.0.4jboss"/> </import>
when this set is populated, the version is set to the last Compatible.version. This means that the comparision/sorting of Compatibles has to make sense in terms of the dot decimal tupple a version represents. I doubt this is currently correct as its simply using the String.compareTo. Unfortunately the java.lang.Package class has not public constructor so that we could use this. We'll just need a proper Version class.
- An Import has a reference to the Component it belongs to. We should be able to use this to provide better feedback on where version conflicts occur. This is also passed to the ComponentRef created from the Import.
- The SynchronizeComponentsTask version check validates that ComponentRef.compatibles set against the component version being imported now rather than just doing a version to version comparison. We need the new Version class in order for this to be robust.
