Which version of core.jar should be used?
If we link our library with core.jar 3.0a5, will the library work in previous versions of Processing?

What do you mean by "link"? This term is more used in the C / C++ / native code world than in Java.
Basically, your jar will use whatever core.jar that the application will find in the classpath. Unless you use some API specific to 3.0+, it should be safe.
Ok, wrong term then :)
To compile the library we add core.jar to the class path, and I was wondering if by using core.jar 3.0a5 I was forcing users to also have that version.
Since I don't use any 3.0 stuff, I understand the version does not make a difference.
Thanks!
What happened when you tried?
When I tried what? I don't have different OSes with different versions of Processing to try, so I thought I better ask to do the right thing. I think the docs don't mention which core.jar to use.
So why don't you just download older versions of Processing and see what happens? You should probably be testing that anyway...
