Sounds like I would do ;) I'll merge the PR locally and insert the delegates.
Open is "src/java/org/apache/ivy/osgi/util/Version.java: the constructor removes the (IMO unneccessary) ParseException. But because it is a checked Exception we break BC." https://wiki.eclipse.org/Evolving_Java-based_APIs_2 defines the removal of a checked exception: "Breaks compatibility" "Adding and deleting checked exceptions declared as thrown by an API method does not break binary compatibility; however, it breaks contract compatibility (and source code compatibility)."
