Re: libquartz-java v2 has incomptabilities with previous version

They released a version 2.0 that is binary incompatible and shares the same package name and the same Maven artifact, that was a very poor decision. 

Building a libquartz2-java package for Debian is probably a sensible choice.

[CC me please]

Dead Java-gurus,

   Could someone please let me know how can I check whether or not a
java jar is compatible with a past version ?

   Apparently libquartz-java 2.x is not compatible with 1.x version. Am
I reading the following correctly:

http://mvnrepository.com/artifact/org.quartz-scheduler/quartz

   Shouldn't all version ve compatible ?

Thanks !

Hi,
recent upload of quartz v2.1.4 in sid created some issue in one of my
package and will certainly impact many other packages.
The change from v1.x to 2.x introduced some incompatibilities in APIs.
There is a backward compatibility jar but it does not solve all problems.

This result in failure even in "common" usages.

Shouldn't package be named  libquartz2-java to keep compatibility with
packages depending on previous version ? and as such supporting dual
versions ?
