BOM Verifier Plugin

Plugin for checking differences between previous and current configuration dependencies.

The plugin checks for differences between a local BOM file (defaults to [project.name].bom) and compares it to the specified configuration (defaults to 'runtime'). When there is differences the check will fail and inform you of them. Main usage is to make developers aware of changes they make to the classpath and make tracking classpath changes easier.
