[mdt-ocl.dev] Do we need a major version change after Indigo?

Hi

I have assumed that we would move to 4.0 after Indigo in order to make breaking API changes as the pivot model is introduced.

However if, as I've recently been suggesting, we promote org.eclipse.ocl.examples.{library,pivot,xtext} to org.eclipse.ocl.{library,pivot,xtext}, we break nothing. The new namespaces provides alternate functionality that GUI tooling uses and so users will probably migrate to.

We will cause much less aggravation if we leave org.eclipse.ocl.{,ecore,uml} to gently obsolesce in optional features. Perhaps we just splatter it with @Deprecated's to encourage migration.

I suggest we therefore now plan for OCL 3.2 for Indigo+1, unless some breaking EMF/UML2/e4 change requires 4.0.

    Regards
