Re: [cross-project-issues-dev] Guava 15/21 warning

not true. Code Recommenders has exported interfaces [1] which have Guava
classes in their public signature. However, Code Recommenders [2]
properly declares these uses constraints and has not seen a major
problem since we introduced this in 2013(!).

Yes, if consumers of the org.eclipse.recommenders.models API also want
to use Guava for other purpose, then they are restricted in their choice
of Guava versions by what org.eclipse.recommenders.models uses but
that's how OSGi works.

This is IMHO a small price to pay for generally being able to have two
versions of the same bundle in your runtime. No more "one classpath to
rule them all", which *might* work in the closely coordinated
simultaneous release (although based on [3] I doubt it), but certainly
not once third-party plug-ins come into play.

Best wishes,

Andreas
