 compatibility you must specify the classpath for the two different versions:
 
 ```bash
-java -jar japicmp-0.25.7-jar-with-dependencies.jar -n new-version.jar -o old-version.jar --new-classpath other-library-v2.jar

 In case the classpath for both versions did not change, you can add the library using the standard way:
