??I encourage you to use JApiCmp or RevApi which will then require you to
formally recognize what is an official break in compatibility. Otherwise,
you'll be leaving user (like me) with the joy of randomly discovering broken
APIs??
Thank you for the suggestion. We already use the baseline goal of the maven
bundle plugin for that. It was disabled in this particular case, because the
affected classes are not considered part of the public API.
