Robert Scholte commented on MCOMPILER-320:
------------------------------------------
Believe me: I don't like to disappoint people that are trying to improve
things, but I need to evaluate every PR. If I would have accepted every PR or
implement every proposal, this project would be total chaos. For every issue
I'm trying to understand why is should be added, or think of a solution that
fits better in the way people are used to work with Maven. In this case I tried
to come up with a proposal that should be more natural. In general I believe
dependencies should be made explicit so Maven can resolve them at the right
time, they should not be part of the configuration-part of a plugin (unless
there's really no other solution). Based on the response it looks to me like it
is not a compiling issue and I should not expect any more details since
everything was already said. I could wait another couple of months, but that
wouldn't change a thing, hence I decided to close it.
How to solve this? Try to break my integration test. Running examples make it
often much clearer instead of having to re-read the whole issue over and over
again.
> Allow additional class path items to be given during compilation

> Key: MCOMPILER-320
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/MCOMPILER-320
> Project: Maven Compiler Plugin
> Issue Type: New Feature
> Reporter: David M. Lloyd
> Assignee: Robert Scholte
> Priority: Major
>
> At present it is very difficult to include additional class path items during
> compilation that are not dependencies. But this is a very useful capability,
> especially when doing partial builds, MR JARs, JDK API stubbing, including
> dependency items that cannot be included in any other build phase or
> execution, etc.
> This enhancement and pull request are to request the addition of a
> {{additionalCompilePathItems}} property in CompilerMojo or
> AbstractCompilerMojo which includes additional filesystem paths in the
> compilation class path.
