Milosi, I think this is not supported yet, is it? #133451 is related. I don't believe it's a defect in general. your project' dependency shall not be dependent on the version of the IDE you are using. That was/is a bug of the non-shared projects. the IDE's library definition is missing any kind of versioning scheme, it's just a symbolic name for a set of jars that changes in time. Therefore I consider it a feature that the shared libraries pinpoint a specific version for your project and use it consistently. The upgrade path is entirely in the hands of the user. The challenge of any automated popups, prompts and hints from the IDE is making the message clear and not getting in the way of user. For critical/important updates #133451 lists process to take on part of the module developer to update the project. *** This issue has been marked as a duplicate of 133451 *** |
