Hi All, I ran into this building [DBCP] but I think it will apply to all components.
Take the DBCP POM and turn on japicmp: diff --git a/pom.xml b/pom.xml index 65488de..106c314 100644 --- a/pom.xml +++ b/pom.xml @@ -340,7 +340,7 @@ <!-- This is the only way I could find to skip

any of the ivars in the JApiCmd reporting Mojo. If you run with the japicmp plugin version 0.11.1, the you get a different error for which I've found no workaround. Thoughts? Gary
