Hello,

There is no better tool yet, so I've used it as the first step. The best alternative is the Clirr tool that contains 7k lines of Java code but it is not flexible enough and doesn't detect all compatibility issues. However I'll probably add reports of the Clirr too in order to compare results.

This is not a request to package the tool (actually, there is nothing to package — it works anywhere without the need to compile anything, so I'll maintain it by myself). I just want to ask for what libraries you would like to see compatibility reports?

Thanks for your feedback.
