RE: breaking changes in 4.0 for CDI (was: RE: [cdt-debug-dev] List of Plan items)

> For example adding IAdaptable to ICDIObject and ICDISessionObject are
breaking changes.
There are many ways to minimize the impact of this type of changes.
For example, introduce new ICDIObject2 and ICDISessionObject2 interfaces
and add two new abstract classes:
abstract class AbstractObject implements ICDIObject, ICDIObject2
abstract class AbstractSessionObject implements ICDISessionObject,
ICDISessionObject2
Implementors can use theses classes as base classes for their hierrachy.
It's not a very good solution, but it covers most of the use cases.
I agree, 4.0 is a major release, but we at least should try to make the
transition easier.

Correct, but this is what he's asking, feedback/exchanges.
To resume:
(1) Should the changes in CDI break compatibility in the coming 4.0?
For example adding IAdaptable to ICDIObject and
ICDISessionObject
are breaking changes.
(2) Should we introduce org.eclipse.* namespace in the CDI
For (1)
+1 break the API
Rationale: 4.0 is a major revision
For (2)
0 do not care
So what do other folks think?
