Might not the "help:effective-pom" plugin/goal be used to validate
some of these automatically? Especially if there remains a canonical
form for the pom. As long as this (or another) plugin can get
logically equivalent, you can use xquery or xpath statements to
validate that what appears
Or, if you have a windows box, use WinMerge with the 7zip add-in
It will allow easy comparison of war, jar and ear files... and you can
dive down to see if the class files are the same (even if the date
stamps are different)

There you go, Oleg will check them for you :-)

I don't think I'll be making any byte for byte exactly guarantees but
as we progress I am going to try and ensure backward compatibility
insofar as behavior. Plugins will work the same apart from plugins
that use components from maven-artifact. We'll be using Mercury for
that and for any pl
Does any tool exist that can build a project in Maven 2 and Maven 3
and then compare the binaries to see if they are equal? Assuming v3 is
fully backwards compatible with v2, I hope there would be only
superficial differences.
