Alasdair Nottingham commented on GERONIMO-5872:
-----------------------------------------------
The OSGi Enterprise Expert group specified in the Enterprise 4.2 spec that
Servlet 2.5 packages be versioned at 2.5, so we should expect semantic versions
from that point on.
The correct semantic version from a 2.5 baseline is 2.6. Users who expect the
packages to be at version 3 are expecting something which does not follow the
best practices for semantic versioning.
> geronimo-servlet_3.0_spec-1.0.jar incorrectly applies semantic versioning to
> servlet packages

> The gernomio-servlet_3.0_spec-1.0.jar incorrectly exports the javax.servlet
> packages as 2.6 and 3.0. The problem with this is if the Servlet spec were to
> make a semantically breaking API change the correct next semantic step for
> the javax.servlet packages would be 3.0. This means there is no way for an
> importer importing at [3.0,4.0) to know whether they will match the version
> that is the same as 2.6, or the version that is breaking from 3.0 resulting
> in deployment and runtime problems.
