I’m currently updating a not-so-small application from Rails 2.0.2 to 2.2.2 and it seems that about every other plugin is not compatible with the new version, because one or the other method was removed, and I have to update them as well. Not such a big problem, if a compatible version exists, but takes quite some time, and I don’t understand that I have to go through this hassle (and other hassles) about everytime I update to a new Rails version. I don’t remember having this kind of trouble when I was working in Java Land. Can somebody explain?
