Ryan Sonnek commented on MEXEC-19:
----------------------------------
i disagree.
The job of this plugin *is* to execute a java class, but why force developers
to jump through extra hoops. Here's a simple scenerio that i think is totally
legit:
* developer runs the exec:java plugin for his class
* developer makes changes
* developer re-runs the exec:java plugin
Ooops! since they didn't run {{mvn compile}}, they'll be running the *old*
version of the class. More troubleshooting is required, and some people might
initially think it's a "bug" in the exec:java plugin for not picking up their
changes.
My opinion is that *if* the exec:java plugin adds the target/classes directory
to the classpath, it should also ensure that those classes are uptodate. If
the exec:java plugin changes to only use precompiled dependencies, then it's
fine as it is today.
and *please* don't introduce yet another flag to make this option configurable.
we just need more stuff that "works as expected".
