Description
This PR allows a plugin to define a range of versions of the core they are compatible with in the opensearchplugin section of their build.gradle file.
Example:
When creating the auto-generated
plugin-descriptor.properties
file it would create a newdependencies
entry like this:The way to interpret this is that this plugin would be compatible with any patch version of the core. In effect, the plugin will not need to version bump to stay compatible with new patches in the core. I think this could help to solve some of the problems we have with plugin maintenance today and can help towards faster patch releases. This builds on top of existing decoupling logic in the core.
