-----------------------------------

             Summary: Use Java API Compliance Checker for binary/source compatibility
                 Key: HBASE-12808
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HBASE-12808
             Project: HBase
          Issue Type: Improvement
          Components: test
            Reporter: Dima Spivak
            Assignee: Dima Spivak


Following [~busbey]'s suggestion in HBASE-12556, I've spent some time playing with the [Java API Compliance Checker|http://ispras.linuxbase.org/index.php/Java_API_Compliance_Checker] and think it would be a great addition to /dev-support. I propose that we use it to replace the JDiff wrappers we currently have there (since it does what JDiff does and more), and look into putting up automation at builds.apache.org to run the tool regularly (e.g. latest release of a particular branch vs. latest commit of that same branch).
