The interim release of 7.3.1 breaks my plugin: http://plugins.netbeans.org/plugin/45919/mantisintegration The plugin needs an implementation dependency on the issue tracker module (there is no exposed API/SPI). The 7.3.1 update changed the implementation version, so currently I can choose whether to support 7.3 _or_ 7.3.1, but not both. The first user noticed that and I'm not happy with this. Last time (7.2 -> 7.2.1) it broke the same way and a new build of the issue tracker module was pushed via the update centers, but I don't want to ask on each release, that compatibility should be provided.
Can't you really change the hard dependency from OpenIDE-Module-Module-Dependencies="org.netbeans.modules.bugtracking = 201302132200 to something like OpenIDE-Module-Module-Dependencies="org.netbeans.modules.bugtracking > 1.58 ? BTW, we already want to disable verification requests for plugins with hard dependencies in RFE #226909.
Disabling verification just makes it worse. I discussed this last year and no netbeans dev could tell me a valid solution (apart from fixing bug 162279). I know the difference between an implementation dependency and a specification dependency. But the issue tracker modules exports its api friend-only. Big question: Why aren't _all_ the changes from 7.3.1 just pushed as an auto update to 7.3 (nbusers showed some discussions in that direction). I would upload a rebuild version of the plugin - now against the common new implementation version and be done with that.
Considering bug 226906 - which is the exact oposite I would like to see, this is a won't fix, so keeping this open is point-less. Closing as described.
