Hi, The Mojo team is pleased to announce the release of Animal Sniffer version 1.8.
This is the sixth release of Animal Sniffer (http://mojo.codehaus.org/animal-sniffer/) since it moved from java.net to the mojo project at codehaus. We have fixed a bug (http://jira.codehaus.org/secure/ReleaseNote.jspa?projectId=12070&version=17475) with this release. Animal Sniffer provides tools to assist verifying that classes compiled with a newer JDK/API are compatible with an older JDK/API. The following tools are provided by animal sniffer: * A command line tool to dump the class file version number (http://mojo.codehaus.org/animal-sniffer/animal-sniffer/index.html). This helps you track down the offending jar file when you see UnsupportedClassVersionError. * A set of ANT tasks (http://mojo.codehaus.org/animal-sniffer/animal-sniffer-ant-tasks/index.html) for verifying that your classes comply with an API signature as well as tasks for creating API signatures from a JDK, or a collection or jar and class files, or a collection of other API signature files, or combination of these elements. * A rule for use in the maven-enforcer-plugin (http://mojo.codehaus.org/animal-sniffer/animal-sniffer-enforcer-rule/index.html) for verifying that your classes comply with an API signature . * A maven plugin (http://mojo.codehaus.org/animal-sniffer-maven-plugin/index.html) for verifying that your classes comply with an API signature as well as for creating API signatures from a JDK, or the current module's classes, or the current module's dependencies, or a collection of other API signature files, or combination of these elements. The artifacts have are available from the Maven Central repository.
