As a developer, I don't see the cause for confusion between the versions of Jersey and JAX-RS. Introducing 2.0 or 3.0 when there is no reason to do so is a permanent confusion in my opinion.
Thoughts from the community?

Because i did not want to confuse developers into thinking there had been a 2.0 release of JAX-RS. Of course even though a 2.0 release of JAX-RS has not occurred some might think it plausible but a 3.0 is not so plausible, and from then on there should be enough distance between the two versions. as any new major version of JAX-RS will result in a new major version of Jersey.
Does that seem reasonable?

Hi,
We plan to release Jersey 1.1.5 on the week on Jan 18th.
Jakub is working hard on the OSGi stuff but we want to make sure we get it right, and it might require some more soak time in the trunk (currently it is in a branch) for other developers to have a play with and provide feedback.
After that release i am proposing to change the versioning scheme of Jersey. Currently we retain the first two numbers as the major and minor version of the JAX-RS API Jersey implementations. This is not ideal:
1) Jersey has it's own API that evolves separately it makes it harder to signal major, minor, micro status of Jersey itself;
2) The current versioning scheme does not work very well with maven and OSGi, for example 1.1.4.1; and
3) Then we can consider Markus recommendations for declaring version ranges for dependencies.
I have been advised that to avoid confusion with the JAX-RS version we should choose a version of Jersey that is clearly different. Thus i propose that we start the next version at 3.0, even though of course it does not really represent a major change.
Paul.
