Igor, if you "just" introduce new API with Juno but garantee existing
public API doesn't break, then I can adapt the version ranges in m2e-wtp
(and JBoss Tools Maven support) to use [1.0,2.0) (or [1.0,1.2) to keep
it safe)

        As one implication of this change, most

        range.
        I am not sure what to do about this yet. One possibility is to
        generate
        separate catalogs for 1.0 and 1.1 compatible extensions, but if
        somebody
        can suggest more elegant solution I am interested to hear about it.


    You could take a look at  Development Conventions and Guidelines
    [1], there is a separate Version Numbering [2] guidelines.

    It looks strange that most plugins (according to you) use such
    restrictive range as [1.0,1.1). According to [2]:

            The major segment number must be increased when a plug-in makes
            breaking changes to its API.

    So, it should be safe for consumer of m2e use something like
    [1.0,2.0) or [1.1,2.0). And m2e team should take care of not
    breaking API when releasing 1.1 after 1.0 had been released.
