+## Maven Plugin
+
+Add openapi-diff to your POM to show diffs when you test your Maven project. You may opt to throw an error if you have broken backwards compatibility or if your API has changed.  
+
+```xml
+<plugin>
+  <groupId>org.openapitools.openapidiff</groupId>
+  <artifactId>openapi-diff-maven</artifactId>
+  <version>${openapi-diff-version}</version>
+  <executions>
+    <execution>
+      <goals>
+        <goal>diff</goal>
+      </goals>
+      <configuration>
+        <!-- Reference specification (perhaps your prod schema) -->
+        <oldSpec>https://petstore3.swagger.io/api/v3/openapi.json</oldSpec>
+        <!-- Specification generated by your project in the compile phase -->
+        <newSpec>${project.basedir}/target/openapi.yaml</newSpec>
+        <!-- Fail only if API changes broke backward compatibility (default: false) -->
+        <failOnIncompatible>true</failOnIncompatible>
+        <!-- Fail if API changed (default: false) -->
+        <failOnChanged>true</failOnIncompatible>
+      </configuration>
+    </execution>
+  </executions>
