Hi Ed

Thanks for the answer. Trace Compass requires minimum version 15, but we don't 
use any API from later versions nor use APIs of 15 that has been removed in 
later versions.
So, I'm good to go to move to 21 since Trace Compass will work with either 
version.

Hi

If your project is open to exploitation by other projects or depends on a 
diveristy og Guava-using projects, IMHO you must tolerate Guava 21 since Guava 
21 is the most recent version in Orbit. Also you should tolerate 21 because 
Mylyn has a precisely 21 bounds. Many other projects are better Eclipse 
citizens and tolerate a range of versions including at least 15 and 21. I 
recommend that you just open the upperbound to 21, test with 21, and write 
private versions of everything you need that 21 deletes and 15 provided. Do not 
use any post Guava 15 facilities.

    Regards

Hello

I'm not clear which version of Guava to use for our project (Trace Compass).
I planned to switch to Guava v21 for M7 this Wednesday.

I will do so unless instructed otherwise. Please let me know if I should stay 
at version 15.

Best Regards
Bernd

Sam's interpretation is technically correct, but we don't do that in practice.

You only need a PB for third party content that you redistribute.

We've made some progress on eliminating PBs (at least in the OSGi context), but 
we're not there yet.

No, my reading is that you need a PB CQ for what you redistribute.  Of course 
the need for a PB CQ is questionably stupid at best in the first place and I've 
offered to automate the whole process of tracking such dependencies.   But 
alas, to no avail...

I hope that is not the correct reading because it would imply that if you have 
open version ranges you need a PB for every version that will ever be released 
in the future, since it *could* someday be used. This is of course not 
possible...
