> Key: MCOMPILER-278
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/MCOMPILER-278
> Project: Maven Compiler Plugin
> Issue Type: Bug
> Affects Versions: 3.1
> Reporter: Michael Zav'yalov
> Priority: Major
> Attachments: maven-compiler-checksum.patch,
> maven-compiler-plugin-3.1.patch
>
>
> When useIncrementalCompilation=true the plugin actually assumes that this
> incremental compilation is supported by compiler itself (I state it because
> of all source files are always sent to compiler).
> But plugin provides an additional optimization - it can detect that there are
> no changes at all, so calling compiler can be skipped. It is especially
> critical for javac that does not support incremental build since 1.3.
> Unfortunately, plugin ignores claspath dependencies that are not directory,
> i.e. - jars, so when dependent jar is modified (in incompatible way) - our
> project is not re-compiled.
