Robert Scholte commented on MJAVADOC-510:
-----------------------------------------
First analysis (no conclusions yet):
At compile time it seems to be used for 2 things:
- execute clirr-maven-plugin to detect new classes and methods, so it can add
the \@since tag
- calculate links to other modules of the reactor
At test it is used to compile some code before it tries to fix the javadoc.
IIRC clirr is based on compiled code to adjust the \@since tags, so that should
be the reason why.
