John Vines updated ACCUMULO-1636:
---------------------------------


This sounds really cool. I'm torn as to whether or not this is okay to fix in 1.6 post feature freeze, since it's not code but development. However, last rleease things bottle necked a bit of really late revisions to the maven build process.

> Clirr can check for API compatibility.
> There's a useful plugin for maven to run it: http://mojo.codehaus.org/clirr-maven-plugin/check-mojo.html
> We might be able to use this to enforce API compatibility for things we want to remain stable (for instance, by failing the build if an incompatible change is detected).
