 Description   
The diff report has lots of diffs for AbstractXmlWriter; a class that doesn't seem to have changed: http://dist.osjava.org/releases/multidoc-jnr/xmlwriter/diff-report-2.2_2.1.html

Based on jars:

http://dist.osjava.org/maven/xmlwriter/jars/xmlwriter-2.1.jar

and

http://dist.osjava.org/maven/xmlwriter/jars/xmlwriter-2.2.jar

This is due to a compiler bug.

Whatever compiler was used to compile xmlwriter 2.1 did not mark the methods it inserted as synthetic in AbstractXmlWriter.

If the compiler doesn't insert the correct information at compile time, there is no way this can be reconstructed by jardiff.
