tremendously if his explanation were documented on the introduction page.
I'm not sure if sniffer solves (2) which really was my original intent
because I had already solved (1) by other means.

Well first off, try upgrading the version of
animal-sniffer-maven-plugin to latest...
The signatures (and their site) were generated when 1.3 was the latest...
1.7 has a number of important fixes, but without regenerating the
signatures it is hard to get the site updated to say the version of
OK, 1.7 works much better - thanks.
Finally now that I have it working I can understand better what it does
and how it is useful.
Thank you to everyone who helped, and for being patient with me.
Cheers, Eric

IMO it depends if the are related or not. Also, working with several
smaller tickets is easier than one huge one. When it comes to
documentation it's hard to give a good guideline,
What surprised me the most is people complaining about open source
docs, but then very rarely supply any patches for improving them. As
they surely do put time into figuring out how to use the software (and
to write mail complaining), they would be the very best candidates for
fixing the existing

Yes, I have already done that part.
After you do that, you might still want the sniffer,

My usual modus operandi is to go looking at a live example of the use

The problem is I cannot figure out the intent of how the sniffer is supposed

Fair enough. At the time I actually thought I was compiling against 1.5,
but in fact I still had not finished setting up Maven properly to do
that, and it was still compiling with 1.6.

If you have to support 1.5, the easiest thing to do is eschew the use
of 1.6 features. Just set the compiler plugin options for source and
target of 1.5.
After you do that, you might still want the sniffer, since this does
not stop you from accidentally coding calls to methods introduced in
1.6.
