Side effects from dependencies

[Bananeweizen]

As Xtext always needs to have matching runtime and IDE plugins, installing this plugin can lead to an unwanted upgrade for developers working against an Xtext 2.6 target platform. Can this conflict somehow be solved? Do you really need the latest versions of the xtext plugins?

I totally understand your issue; but as long as I used Xtext 2.7 to define and generate the DSL, I feel like I could not set the minimum required version to a lower one. Am I right?

That sounds right to me, however I'm surely no authority in that area. Seems like that would generally qualify as an xtext issue, because your plugin probably is not the only one bringing such dependencies into developer IDEs.
