Question about API Tools / API breakage reporting [message #37512] Fri, 12 December 2008 21:10

I have a question about API breakage reporting in API Tools.

I first set up the baseline as described here:
http://wiki.eclipse.org/PDE/API_Tools/User_Guide
(I'm using the entirety of WTP, since our plugins don't come separately.
Dali/JPA Tools is part of WTP.)

I then add the API analysis nature as described in the same guide.

But then the only error (and I've set up everything to be an error for
now) I see is that "The major version should be incremented ... since API
breakage ocurred ..."

Isn't that the point? What if my goal is not to have changed API? I'm
expecting errors telling me that certain methods or classes have been
removed (or added), but the only thing I'm getting is that *something*
major changed, and my only option is to increment the major version.

Am I not understanding something or haven't set up something correctly?

Thanks,
- Paul
