Description
Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
Since it is a bit tedious to dig through the source code to find the version of opentelemetry-proto, and to link that to the correct opentelemetry-collector, and the correct opentelemetry-javaagent , which both have different versions: is there a list detailing the relationships ?
Which versions of the agent need to be used with which versions of
- collector, and
- e.g. the java sdk
Describe the solution you'd like
A table which the matching versions, either specific versions or version ranges.
Describe alternatives you've considered
A BOM seems suboptimal, since the collector is e.g. deployed via rpm as a standalong tool, the java agent is a file on the host system, and the library is most often deployed via e.g. maven.
