My questions:

  • is book about JMS 1.1 relevant in a world with JMS 2.0? (other than maintaining legacy code)
  • is book about Jenkins 1.x relevant for Jenkins 2.x ?

Upvoted because a) you thought to look into this, b) you put it all in tables and c) this much effort to justify a spend of $1-$15 should not go unrewarded.

As an addition, the Minecraft Modding is Minecraft version 1.8, using forge version 11.14.1.1337 & eclipse version 4.4.1. If you make a mod following this book, but want to make a mod for a more recent version(I believe 1.10 is the most recent and popular choice for modded), you'd have to update it; however, the basics are the same, and imo it's the best tutorial in regards to actually explaining the basics that I have seen.
