QUESTION
I was looking for some tool to capture the Java compatibility differences between the artifacts generated in the current and previous build of our project. The tool should be part of our daily CI/CD build.
After some googling, I planned to use japicmp to compare between two SNAPSHOT versions, as I found it was fulfilling my requirements, as well as the project is being maintained well.
I tried with the following POM:

Answered 2018-Apr-27 at 12:10Your point is that you are misusing the meaning of a SNAPSHOT in maven. A SNAPSHOT is a development artifact that is supposed to change frequently and overridden by each build cycle. maven will search for the specified artifact first in your local repository, where it will find your latest version and check for the first time a day the remote respository for a newer SNAPSHOT version. Hence, SNAPSHOTs have a special meaning in maven and shouldn't be used for releases. For more information see here or here.
The maven plugin of japicmp utilizes the maven framework to lookup the latest SNAPSHOT. Hence, it has no influence on the lookup procedure and it will work like all other maven plugins and take the latest SNAPSHOT either from your local repository or from the remote repository (if it is there newer than in your local one).
Please implement a release procedure that is conform to the maven proposal and do not use SNAPSHOTS as "releases" as your next build will override it again.
If for whatever reason you cannot release to your Nexus repository, you may think about installing your releases at least in your local repository according to the maven conventions. This page explains how to install a local jar file as maven artifact with a specific version.

Install japicmp
You can use japicmp like any standard Java library. Please include the the jar files in your classpath. You can also use any IDE and you can run and debug the japicmp component as you would do with any other Java program. Best practice is to use a build tool that supports dependency management such as Maven or Gradle. For Maven installation, please refer maven.apache.org. For Gradle installation, please refer gradle.org .
