Hi, I recently came across Google Guice 4.0 Beta. They is a tool called JDiff [1] to visualize API changes [2]. To me this report is much easier to understand than the Clirr report. This is for the fact that it visualizes the changes in an JavaDoc like format. When I think about an API, I always think of it in terms of the packages and the classes, interfaces etc in them. Clirr just produces an unstructured flat list. With JDiff I can navigate to the packages I have in use and see exactly what has changes.
That said I'd like to propose to give JDiff a try in [lang]. There is a maven plugin [3] but it is in beta state. Don't know if thats a no go for us.
