i'm not sure i follow, don't we already have breaking changes for which we've decided to change bump the version?

Just to clarify, when I said "It's built with gradle and uses Ant", I
mean our build is gradle based and our call of Bridger uses Ant.
Bridger itself is built with Maven.

In the Groovy build we do this using Bridger
(https://github.com/dmlloyd/bridger). It's built with gradle (and uses
Ant). They have a Maven plugin but I haven't used it.

In our build we have this:

compileJava {
     doLast {
         ant.java(classname:'org.jboss.bridger.Bridger', classpath:
rootProject.configurations.tools.asPath, outputproperty: 'stdout') {
             arg(value:
"${sourceSets.main.java.outputDir.canonicalPath}/org/codehaus/groovy/runtime/DefaultGroovyMethods.class")
         }
         ant.echo('Bridger: ' + ant.properties.stdout)
     }
}

And in the relevant source file we have a small number of $$bridge
methods like this one:

public static <T> List<T> withDefault$$bridge(List<T> self, Closure<T> init) {
     return withDefault(self, init);
}

to match the original methods we are duplicating, e.g.:

public static <T> ListWithDefault<T> withDefault(List<T> self,
Closure<T> init) {
     // ... code here ...
}

Cheers, Paul.

This could be solved if it were possible to force javac to generate bridge
methods. There's an extension which would allow that here:
https://github.com/infradna/bridge-method-injector, but I suspect it would
complicate the build process quite a bit.

The return type is part of the method signature that Java uses to find
resolve references.

Even changing from void to non-void will cause binary incompatibility.
(Source-wise, that's fine)

Yep, that's no good. I'll revert.

I haven't looked into the IteratorUtils class at all but it's easy to
show binary incompatibility when changing the return type.
Compile this "library" class:

import java.util.ArrayList;
import java.util.List;

public class Lib {
     List getMyList() {
         return new ArrayList();
     }
}

Now compile this user of the library:

import java.util.List;

public class Main {
     public static void main(String[] args) {
         doit(new Lib().getMyList());
     }

     private static void doit(List list) {
         System.out.println("list is: " + list);
     }
}


Ensure it all works:

java -cp path_to_lib Main
Should output:

List is: []

Now change the Lib class to return ArrayList instead of List and
recompile just the Lib class (i.e. importantly don't recompile Main).

Now if you try:

java -cp path_to_lib Main
you should see:

Exception in thread "main" java.lang.NoSuchMethodError:
Lib.getMyList()Ljava/util/List;
         at Main.main(Main.java:5)

Cheers, Paul.

Can you show how older code would not function. Aside from using

Hi All:

Updating Commons Collections' commons-parent from version 43 to 45
causes
the build to fail due to the use of japicmp which reports:

[ERROR] Failed to execute goal
org.apache.maven.plugins:maven-site-plugin:3.7:site (default-site)
on
project commons-collections4: Error generating
japicmp-maven-plugin:0.11.0:cmp-report report: Failed to generate
report:
Breaking the build because there is at least one incompatibility:
org.apache.commons.collections4.IteratorUtils.
peekingIterator(java.util.
Iterator):METHOD_RETURN_TYPE_CHANGED,org.apache.commons.
collections4.IteratorUtils.pushbackIterator(java.util.
Iterator):METHOD_RETURN_TYPE_CHANGED
-> [Help 1]

This is caused by:

- [COLLECTIONS-676] Modify IteratorUtils.pushbackIterator
signature to
return PushbackIterator.
- [COLLECTIONS-675] Modify IteratorUtils.peekingIterator signature
to
return PeekingIterator.

Which are reasonable changes IMO.

Does anyone object to these changes and adding exceptions to allow
japicmp
to
not fail the build?

Thank you,
Gary
