you must not skip surefire is compiler execution is skipped. Surefire
has its own inputs and even if the overlap with compiler can be
important it is also far to be 1-1 (…snip…) surefire can have custom
paths, must consider the env, props etc...
Skipping the tests when nothing changed would be optional, controlled by
Surefire plugin configuration. "Nothing to recompile" is one condition
that Surefire is free to use or ignore or combine with other criteria.
The issue is simply about making that information available outside the
compiler plugin.
I have no strong opinion about return value versus a flag to set
somewhere, as they both work. However, a flag is likely to be forgotten
by a lot of plugins, while a return value forces each plugin to at least
said if they did any work. An enumeration with 3 values may be simple
enough for not being a burden.
