Terracotta Utilities

This project contains utility classes that may be used among all Terracotta-OSS projects.

Project Constraints

This project operates under the following constraints:

1. Changes must not be breaking; programs built to compile and run using version 0.0.1 artifacts from this project must be able to compile and run with version 0.0.2 artifacts from this project.

2. This project should not be branched. Maintaining multiple versions of this project is not desirable.

3. The tools module may not rely on any third-party artifacts other than:

   • org.slf4j:slf4j-api
   • com.github.spotbugs:spotbugs-annotations

4. The test-tools module may rely on test-support artifacts in common use though these artifacts should generally be optional for consumers of the test-tools module. For example, the following artifacts might be used:

   • org.hamcrest:hamcrest:2.2 (compile)
   • junit:junit:4.12 (provided)
   • org.testng:testng:6.8 (provided)

   If an artifact on which test-tools relies makes a breaking change, introduce new artifact containing the breaking components -- not a new version of the test-tools artifact.
