+# .apiconfig File Documentation
+
+## Overview
+
+The `.apiconfig` file provides a way to configure API Tools version increment rules and error handling at the project level. This file should be placed in the root of your project, similar to `.gitignore` or `.editorconfig` files.
+
+## File Format
+
+The `.apiconfig` file uses a simple key-value format:
+
+```properties
+# Comments start with #
+key = value
+```
+
+## Configuration Options
+
+### Version Increment Rules
+
+Version increment rules control how version numbers are suggested when API changes are detected.
+
+**Format:** `.version.increment = +`
+
+**Parameters:**
+- `segment`: The semantic change level detected (`major`, `minor`, or `micro`)
+- `target_segment`: Which version segment to actually increment (`major`, `minor`, or `micro`)
+- `amount`: How much to increment (must be positive integer)
+
+**Default behavior:** Each segment increments itself by 1:
+- `major.version.increment = major+1`
+- `minor.version.increment = minor+1`
+- `micro.version.increment = micro+1`
+
+**Example:** Eclipse Platform pattern (no major version changes):
+```properties
+# When breaking changes detected, suggest minor increment instead
+major.version.increment = minor+1
+
+# Standard minor increment for compatible changes
+minor.version.increment = minor+1
+
+# Micro increments by 100 for service releases
+micro.version.increment = micro+100
+```
+
+### Error Handling Mode
+
+Error modes control how version problems are reported or suppressed.
+
+**Format:** `.version.error = `
+
+**Modes:**
+- `error`: Report as error (default)
+- `warning`: Report as warning
+- `ignore`: Don't report
+- `filter`: Automatically create an API filter with explanatory comment
+
+**Example:**
+```properties
+# Auto-filter major version warnings (when not using major versions)
+major.version.error = filter
+
+# Report minor version issues as errors
+minor.version.error = error
+
+# Report micro version issues as warnings
+micro.version.error = warning
+```
+
+## Use Cases
+
+### Use Case 1: Eclipse Platform Pattern
+
+Eclipse Platform doesn't use major version increments. Configure this with:
+
+```properties
+# Redirect major version changes to minor increment
+major.version.increment = minor+1
+
+# Auto-suppress major version warnings
+major.version.error = filter
+
+# Standard behavior for minor and micro
+minor.version.increment = minor+1
+micro.version.increment = micro+1
+```
+
+### Use Case 2: Service Release Pattern
+
+For projects that increment micro version by 100 for each service release:
+
+```properties
+major.version.increment = major+1
+minor.version.increment = minor+1
+
+# Increment micro by 100
+micro.version.increment = micro+100
+```
+
+### Use Case 3: Lenient Versioning
+
+For projects in early development that want warnings instead of errors:
+
+```properties
+major.version.error = warning
+minor.version.error = warning
+micro.version.error = warning
+```
+
+## File Location
+
+The `.apiconfig` file should be placed in the root of your project:
+
+```
+my-project/
+├── .apiconfig # Configuration file
+├── .api_filters # API filters (may be auto-generated)
+├── META-INF/
+│ └── MANIFEST.MF
+├── src/
+└── ...
+```
+
+## Interaction with Existing Settings
+
+The `.apiconfig` file complements existing API Tools settings:
+
+1. **IDE Preferences**: The `.apiconfig` file only affects version increment calculations and error modes. Other API Tools settings (like API baseline configuration) remain in IDE preferences.
+
+2. **API Filters**: When `error = filter` is configured, filters are automatically added to `.api_filters` with explanatory comments. Manual filters in `.api_filters` continue to work as before.
+
+3. **Baseline Checking**: The `.apiconfig` file doesn't affect baseline comparison itself, only how version problems are reported.
+
+## Example Complete Configuration
+
+```properties
+# Eclipse Platform style .apiconfig
+# Place this file in the root of your project
+
+# We don't use major version increments at Platform
+# When breaking changes are detected, increment minor instead
+major.version.increment = minor+1
+major.version.error = filter
+
+# Standard minor version increment for compatible API additions
+minor.version.increment = minor+1
+minor.version.error = error
+
+# Micro version increments by 100 for service releases
+micro.version.increment = micro+100
+micro.version.error = error
+```
+
+## Migration Guide
+
+### From Manual Configuration
+
+If you previously configured version increment rules manually in the IDE:
+
+1. Create a `.apiconfig` file in your project root
+2. Add your version increment rules
+3. Commit the file to version control
+4. The settings will now be shared across all developers
+
+### From Existing Projects
+
+For existing projects without `.apiconfig`:
+
+1. API Tools will continue to work with default behavior (each segment increments by 1)
+2. Create `.apiconfig` file when you want to customize behavior
+3. No changes needed to existing `.api_filters` files
+
+## Troubleshooting
+
+### Config file not working
+
+- Ensure the file is named exactly `.apiconfig` (with leading dot)
+- Check that the file is in the project root (not in a subdirectory)
+- Verify the syntax: `key = value` format with no typos
+- Check the Error Log view for parsing errors
+
+### Unexpected version suggestions
+
+- Review your `*.version.increment` settings
+- Ensure increment amounts are positive integers
+- Verify target segments are spelled correctly: `major`, `minor`, or `micro`
+
+### Filters not being created
+
+- Ensure `*.version.error = filter` is set correctly
+- Check that you have write permissions to create `.api_filters`
+- Verify that API Tools is enabled for your project
+

+# .apiconfig Feature Implementation Summary
+
+## Overview
+
+This implementation adds support for a `.apiconfig` file that allows projects to configure API Tools version increment rules and error handling. This addresses the need for project-level configuration that can be shared via version control.
+
+## Files Added
+
+### Core Implementation
+
+1. **ApiConfigSettings.java** - Data structure holding configuration
+ - `VersionSegment` enum: MAJOR, MINOR, MICRO
+ - `ErrorMode` enum: ERROR, WARNING, IGNORE, FILTER
+ - `VersionIncrementRule` class: Defines which segment to increment and by how much
+ - Settings for major, minor, and micro version rules
+
+2. **ApiConfigParser.java** - Parser for .apiconfig files
+ - Supports key=value format with comments
+ - Parses version increment rules (e.g., "major.version.increment = minor+1")
+ - Parses error modes (e.g., "major.version.error = filter")
+ - Can parse from IProject, File, or InputStream
+
+3. **IApiCoreConstants.java** (modified)
+ - Added `API_CONFIG_FILE_NAME = ".apiconfig"` constant
+
+### Integration
+
+4. **BaseApiAnalyzer.java** (modified)
+ - Added `fApiConfigSettings` field to store loaded configuration
+ - Added `loadApiConfigSettings()` method to load config from project
+ - Added `calculateNewVersion()` method to compute version increments using config
+ - Added `handleVersionProblem()` method to handle problems per error mode
+ - Added `getErrorModeForProblemKind()` to map problem types to error modes
+ - Added `createAutoGeneratedFilter()` to auto-generate filters when error mode is FILTER
+ - Modified all version increment calculations to use `calculateNewVersion()`
+ - Modified version problem handling to check error mode
+
+### Tests
+
+5. **ApiConfigParserTests.java** - Unit tests for parser
+ - Tests empty config, comments, whitespace handling
+ - Tests version increment parsing
+ - Tests error mode parsing
+ - Tests complete configurations
+
+6. **ApiConfigVersionTests.java** - Integration tests
+ - Tests default settings
+ - Tests custom increments
+ - Tests error modes
+ - Tests constant definition
+
+7. **ApiToolsTestSuite.java** (modified)
+ - Added ApiConfigParserTests to test suite
+
+### Documentation
+
+8. **APICONFIG.md** - Comprehensive user documentation
+ - File format specification
+ - Configuration options
+ - Use cases and examples
+ - Migration guide
+ - Troubleshooting
+
+9. **.apiconfig.example** - Example configuration file
+ - Shows Eclipse Platform pattern
+ - Documents all configuration options
+ - Can be copied and customized
+
+## Key Features Implemented
+
+### 1. Custom Version Increment Rules
+
+Users can configure how each semantic change level (major, minor, micro) should increment versions:
+
+```properties
+# Instead of major+1, increment minor by 1
+major.version.increment = minor+1
+
+# Standard minor increment
+minor.version.increment = minor+1
+
+# Increment micro by 100 instead of 1
+micro.version.increment = micro+100
+```
+
+### 2. Error Handling Modes
+
+Users can control how version problems are reported:
+
+```properties
+# Auto-generate filters for major version issues
+major.version.error = filter
+
+# Report minor issues as errors (default)
+minor.version.error = error
+
+# Report micro issues as warnings
+micro.version.error = warning
+
+# Or ignore completely
+# micro.version.error = ignore
+```
+
+### 3. Automatic Filter Generation
+
+When `error = filter` is configured, the system automatically:
+1. Creates an ApiProblemFilter for the issue
+2. Adds an explanatory comment (e.g., "Suppressed by .apiconfig: Breaking changes detected: ...")
+3. Adds the filter to the project's .api_filters file
+
+### 4. Project-Level Configuration
+
+The `.apiconfig` file is discovered hierarchically like `.gitignore` or `.editorconfig`:
+- Placed in project root
+- Committed to version control
+- Shared across all developers
+- No IDE-specific configuration needed
+
+## Design Decisions
+
+### 1. Simple File Format
+
+Chose properties-style format (key=value) for simplicity and familiarity:
+- Easy to hand-edit
+- No XML overhead
+- Supports comments with #
+- Similar to .editorconfig
+
+### 2. Segment-Based Configuration
+
+Configuration is organized by semantic change level (major/minor/micro):
+- Intuitive for understanding impact
+- Aligns with OSGi versioning semantics
+- Allows different rules for different change types
+
+### 3. Conservative Defaults
+
+When no `.apiconfig` exists:
+- Falls back to standard behavior (each segment increments by 1)
+- No breaking changes to existing projects
+- Opt-in configuration
+
+### 4. Error Mode as Optional Enhancement
+
+The error mode feature (especially FILTER) is optional:
+- Basic version increment customization works without it
+- FILTER mode provides automation for common workflows
+- Other modes (WARNING, IGNORE) provide flexibility
+
+### 5. Integration Point
+
+Integrated at BaseApiAnalyzer level:
+- Central point where all version problems are created
+- Can intercept problems before they're reported
+- Has access to project context for loading config
+
+## Testing Strategy
+
+### Unit Tests (ApiConfigParserTests)
+- Test file parsing in isolation
+- Test various input formats
+- Test error handling
+
+### Integration Tests (ApiConfigVersionTests)
+- Test data structure behavior
+- Test configuration of settings
+- Test interaction with constants
+
+### Manual Testing Needed
+Full integration testing with actual projects would require:
+- Setting up baseline comparisons
+- Creating projects with API changes
+- Verifying version suggestions use config
+- Verifying filters are auto-generated
+
+## Limitations and Future Work
+
+### Current Limitations
+
+1. **Error mode granularity**: Error modes apply to all problems of a type (e.g., all MAJOR problems), not specific scenarios
+
+2. **No validation**: The parser accepts any increment amount - very large increments might be confusing
+
+3. **Filter comment format**: Auto-generated filter comments are simple - could be enhanced with more detail
+
+4. **No UI integration**: Configuration must be done by editing text file - no IDE UI provided
+
+### Possible Future Enhancements
+
+1. **IDE UI**: Add preference page to edit .apiconfig visually
+
+2. **Per-package configuration**: Allow different rules for different packages
+
+3. **Validation**: Warn about unusual increment amounts or configurations
+
+4. **Quick fixes**: Provide quick fixes to create/update .apiconfig when problems occur
+
+5. **Templates**: Provide .apiconfig templates for common patterns (Eclipse, Apache, etc.)
+
+6. **Format validation**: Provide validation of .apiconfig syntax with error markers
+
+## API Compatibility
+
+This implementation maintains full backward compatibility:
+
+- No changes to existing APIs
+- All new classes in internal packages
+- No changes to serialization formats
+- Existing .api_filters files continue to work
+- Projects without .apiconfig work as before
+
+## Performance Considerations
+
+Minimal performance impact:
+
+- Config loaded once per analysis run (cached in field)
+- Simple properties parsing (no XML, no complex formats)
+- No additional file I/O beyond initial load
+- Filter generation only when FILTER mode is used
+
+## Use Cases Addressed
+
+### Eclipse Platform Pattern
+Eclipse Platform doesn't use major version increments. Configuration:
+```properties
+major.version.increment = minor+1
+major.version.error = filter
+```
+
+### Service Release Pattern
+Projects that increment micro by 100:
+```properties
+micro.version.increment = micro+100
+```
+
+### Development Projects
+Projects wanting lenient warnings:
+```properties
+major.version.error = warning
+minor.version.error = warning
+```
+
+## Summary
+
+This implementation provides a flexible, project-level configuration mechanism for API Tools version management. It addresses the original requirements:
+
+✅ Support `.apiconfig` file in project root
+✅ Configure version increment rules per segment
+✅ Support redirecting increments (e.g., major → minor)
+✅ Support custom increment amounts (e.g., micro+100)
+✅ Provide error mode configuration
+✅ Auto-generate filters when error mode is "filter"
+✅ Maintain backward compatibility
+✅ Include tests and documentation
+
+The implementation is minimal, focused, and provides a solid foundation for future enhancements.
