+Notes on Building version 44.
+-----------------------------
+When building, because of an issue with japicmp, we have an erroneous non-failing stacktrace
+that occurs. Specifically, we see:
 
+[warn] No new version specified and file './commons-parent/pom.xml' of artifact could not be opened as
+      jar archive: error in opening zip file
+java.util.zip.ZipException: error in opening zip file
+
+mainly caused by an error in
+japicmp.maven.JApiCmpMojo.populateArchivesListsFromParameters(JApiCmpMojo.java:341).

+We have asked for this to be addressed in the github issue: https://github.com/siom79/japicmp/issues/195
