If I include the .jar files with the 4.3 functionality in an add-on package for the version 4.2 that the users are currently running, will it inherit the new functionality? We'll be asking the users to uninstall and reinstall when the imageport functionality is available, and I'd rather not ask them repeatedly, rapid-fire to go through the hassle. There are few things grumpier than an overworked engineer.
