So many times a blog is nothing but reference to others, but that is what blog is all about. I do feel that we should not always have to "write our own innovative blog", most of the time somebody has already thought about what you are writing but your way to express is what matters here and we ( blog readers) look forward to reading them.
I think the basic rule is : if you are not commenting on a blog or adding additional information, just for promotional purpose give the reference. Also copy pasting a blog is not a taboo, your blog is not just blog readers reference but your reference as well. So if you like a blog very much and don't want to loose it because that blogger might shut down the blog site , go do the copy-paste.
Since I talked about refrenences I happen to see a good sourceforge utility which provides differences in Java API. Wish I knew about it before, here is the Reference

If you like JDiff, maybe Clirr is for you: Great for automatically finding incompatible API changes between product versions, and you don't need the old sources, only the jar.
The functionality kind of complements JDiff. Both are useful tools, with a slightly different focus.
Cheers,

Lars,
I must be missing something, but doesn't the compilation of your application deteect when you have introduced binary incompatibility? By failing to compile. Or is the benefit of clirr telling you everything that has changed?
I like the clirr maven plugin - neat stuff.
