Howdy. All recent editions of my tools (semantic, eieio, and speedbar) now have a function called `PACKAGENAME-require-version'. JDE currently has its own compare function. The version requirement in my tools will know when a new release of a tool is not BACKWARDS compatible, and otherwise will allow newer versions to be used with a JDE released with an olderversion. It would be up to Paul to know when a needed feature was introduced. I recommend that the JDE use these functions, as it will prevent this type of problem with new releases in the future. I would guess it is ok to use eieio 0.17 with the JDE as it passes the EIEIO 0.17beta4 tests.
