Creates a report of all API changes between Java 8 and 9

Java 8 - 9 API Diff Report Generator

This project creates a report of all API changes between Java 8 and 9, using JapiCmp.

Published report

A report created by this generator (based on Java 9 b181) can be found at https://gunnarmorling.github.io/jdkapidiff/jdk8-jdk9-api-diff.html (16 MB, so loading may take a bit).

Usage

To create the report yourself, e.g. with different settings, run mvn clean install. The API change report can be found at target/japicmp/japicmp.html. Adapt the excludes in the execution of the japicmp-maven-plugin as needed.

Maven Toolchains are used to locate the different JDKs. There must be a toolchain for Java 1.8 and one for Java 9. Provide a file ~.m2/toolchains.xml like this:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF8"?>
<toolchains>
    <toolchain>
        <type>jdk</type>
        <provides>
            <version>1.8</version>
            <vendor>oracle</vendor>
        </provides>
        <configuration>
            <jdkHome>/path/to/jdk-1.8</jdkHome>
        </configuration>
    </toolchain>
    <toolchain>
        <type>jdk</type>
        <provides>
            <version>9</version>
            <vendor>oracle</vendor>
        </provides>
        <configuration>
            <jdkHome>/path/to/jdk-9</jdkHome>
        </configuration>
    </toolchain>
</toolchains>
