Since the switch to permanent SNAPSHOTs, running japicmp locally is inconvenient, because the current version of the module (6.2-SNAPSHOT) is not correct when it comes to comparing for instance 6.2.16 to 6.2.17-SNAPSHOT.

While that isn't a blocker, try to resolve by introducing a PPOM profile. The goal is to automatically resolve the last version that was released, and to somehow interpolate it with the current version. A couple of approaches could be attempted:

• using the versions plugin to resolve the next version?
• https://www.mojohaus.org/buildnumber-maven-plugin/usage.html
• replicating the approach currently being implemented for pipeline-templates where the list of Git tags is inspected
