Hello,

we are running a custom OSGi implementation that does not support entries in META-INF/services folder.

So with updating to the latest version 4.29 (from 3.0.7 :-/ ) we have the need to use the liquibase-compat library to rely on the old classpath scan as [outlined in the documentation](https://contribute.liquibase.com/extensions-integrations/extensions-overview/upgrade-guides/lb-4.0-upgrade-guide/#How_Extension_Classes_are_Configured_and_Found). Unfortunately I can only find a beta version 4.0.0 of this lib. What about production ready up-to-date versions for this compatibility library? Is 4.0.0 beta2 supposed to work with 4.29 core?

Thanks,  
Martin

Hi @ms.oe.82,

As far as I know it’s not possible to implement a class without listing this new entry in the give interface file in the services folder. I’m not familiar with liquibase-compat, but I’ll check your question about v4.0.0 beta2 of it with the team and I’ll let you know.

Thanks,  
Daniel.
