Categories: Builds
Latest version: 0.6
Added 2006-02-14
Tool that checks Java libraries for binary and source compatibility with older releases.
Basically you give Clirr two sets of jar files and it dumps out a list of changes in the public API.
The Clirr Ant task can break the build if it detects incompatible API changes, making it easy to prevent accidental introduction of compatibiliy issues.
Features include:
- reports API changes
- evaluates each change with regard to binary and source compatibility
- supports plain text and XML reports
- flexible failure handling (warnings vs. errors, break the build or set error property)
