----------------------------------------------------------------
This interests me and we have used this tool earlier although the ideal would
be a maven plugin which uses a prior run's profile, e.g., 2.0.0, and ensures
that there are no unexpected deviations in 2.0.x, e.g., removed methods. I
started on a similar tool for exported types[1] but ran into subpackage
visibility issues with jclouds:
https://github.com/gaul/interface-maven-plugin
Many of our interfaces are needlessly public to allow a subpackage to access
them. Maybe we could specify subsets of classes we care about for API
compatibility?
