Experts,
We have touched backward compatibility questions multiple times in the past. Finally, there is a document in place to
provide a common guidance for all Java EE specifications. Please look at the new wiki document that summarizes the rules:

http://java.net/projects/javaee-spec/pages/CompatibilityRequirements

Let me or Santiago know if you have any questions.

Thanks,
Marek
