[ http://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/UIMA-50?page=comments#action_12452536 ] Tong Fin commented on UIMA-50: ------------------------------
I believe that having both versions (Framework and DTD/Schema) is useful for the following reason: 1) Tools will use Framework version to identify if the descriptors are appropriate for the Framework being used/targetting. If the tools don't have this info, we need a mapping from DTD/Schema version to Framework. 2) DTD/Schema version will be used when parsing/creating/validating the descriptor > Add version number to descriptors > --------------------------------- > > Key: UIMA-50 > URL: http://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/UIMA-50 > Project: UIMA > Issue Type: Improvement > Components: Core Java Framework > Reporter: Adam Lally > Priority: Minor > > It has been suggested that our component descriptor XML files should include > a version number, so that it would be possible to give more meaningful error > messages in the case of a version mismatch. I'm not sure whether this should > just be the framework version number, or a different "descriptor model > version number" that might change less frequently. -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA. - If you think it was sent incorrectly contact one of the administrators: http://issues.apache.org/jira/secure/Administrators.jspa - For more information on JIRA, see: http://www.atlassian.com/software/jira
