If you have a dependency on it that isn't just test scope, then I'm saying you definitely can't guarantee plugin compatibility across releases ever. Whether that's a fatal issue is obviously dependent on one's scenario, what the plugin audience is, etc.

If in fact that's the change that broke your plugin, that wouldn't be a bug on our part is what I'm saying.

spring-extensions and java-support are API (as I said, none of this is clear to outsiders and we have to get it documented). The difference is, now we have an explicit dividing line we didn't really have before.
