[ANN] Clirr Maven Plugin 2.4 Released

[Dennis Lundberg <de...@apache.org>]

The Mojo team is pleased to announce the clirr-maven-plugin-2.4 release!

Clirr is a tool that checks Java libraries for binary and source
compatibility with older releases. Basically you give it two sets of jar
files and Clirr dumps out a list of changes in the public API. The
clirr-maven-plugin can be configured to break the build, if it detects
incompatible api changes. In a continuous integration process, the
clirr-maven-plugin can automatically prevent accidental introduction of
binary or source compatibility problems. Additionally, the plugin can
generate a report as part of the generated site.

Re: [ANN] Clirr Maven Plugin 2.4 Released

[Mark Derricutt <ma...@talios.com>]

For some reason I've never been able to get this plugin to actually do 
what I think it should be doing.

For example, I just commented out a method declaration in an interface, 
thinking to myself "well surely THAT breaks the previous API..." but 
clirr just ignores it.

I do see an odd message tho:

[INFO] --- clirr-maven-plugin:2.4:check (default-cli) @ smx3.api ---
[INFO] Comparing to version: 5.0.20
....
[INFO] smx3.api.ApplicationManager: Class smx3.api.ApplicationManager added

This is the interface I changed, in fact - ALL classes in the various 
artifacts list here saying "added", however - since they were in the 
previous released artifact, are they really added?

Mark

PS: I probably should take this to a clirr specific list, but I'm here 
currently :)
