Lorenzo Bettini created MCOMPILER-454:
-----------------------------------------
Summary: The compiler plugin does not always detect removed Java
files
Key: MCOMPILER-454
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/MCOMPILER-454
Project: Maven Compiler Plugin
Issue Type: Bug
Affects Versions: 3.8.1
Reporter: Lorenzo Bettini
Attachments: example.zip
I'm doing some experiments with a very simple Maven project (see the
attachment) where I set the maven-compiler-plugin to the latest version 3.8.1
to see whether the compiler effectively detects the removal of a Java file and
correctly recompiles the sources (and tests). In the project, there are two
Java sources App.java and App2.java.
I run `mvn test-compile`
then I remove the App2.java file
I run again `mvn test-compile`
sometimes the removed Java file is detected and the sources and tests are
recompiled (the old App2.class is also removed of course). Sometimes, this does
not happen ("Nothing to compile - all classes are up to date").
I'm afraid I don't understand when this works correctly and when it does not.
But it consistently happens: sometimes the right behavior, sometimes the wrong
one.
