Ignoring when previous version doesn't exist

[vmassol]

I'd like to ignore when the previous version defined doesn't exist. I know there's a ignoreMissingClasses property but it's defined as " Set this to true in order to ignore artifacts that cannot be resolved, i.e. the build does not break in case a dependency cannto be resolved to a file.". I want to break if some dependency of the current version cannot be resolved. I just don't want to break if the previous version doesn't exist without having to explicitly declare a skip, because if I do then I know for sure we'll forget to remove the skip when the next version is released.

Is that possible? If not, could it be added?

Thanks

Added new parameter ignoreMissingOldVersion to the maven plugin that won't break the build if the old version cannot be resolved.

If you like, you can try it on the develop branch:

git clone https://github.com/siom79/japicmp.git
cd japicmp
git checkout develop
mvn install
