SebbASF commented on MCOMPILER-205: ----------------------------------- Ant had an issue with the package-info.java files and solved it by creating empty class files if the javac compiler failed to do so. This is (now) optional behaviour. See https://issues.apache.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=52096 for a useful discussion. It points out that JDK 7 javac has the option -Xpkginfo:always The difference with Ant is that it does not recompile everything just because a single p-i file is out of date. That's an optimisation that Maven could easily implement. > maven-compiler-plugin: incremental compilation broken > ----------------------------------------------------- > > Key: MCOMPILER-205 > URL: https://jira.codehaus.org/browse/MCOMPILER-205 > Project: Maven 2.x Compiler Plugin > Issue Type: Bug > Affects Versions: 3.1 > Reporter: Lukas Fryc > Attachments: hello.tgz, no-class-in-java-file.zip > > > When we do {{clean}} -> {{compile}} -> {{compile}}, all Java sources are > re-compiled for second compilation steps: > {code} > [framework]$ mvn clean > ... > [framework]$ mvn compile > ... > [INFO] --- maven-compiler-plugin:3.1:compile (precompile-sources-for-cdk) @ > richfaces-framework --- > [INFO] Changes detected - recompiling the module! > [INFO] Compiling 915 source files to > /mnt/workspace/workspaces/richfaces/richfaces5/framework/target/classes > ... > [framework]$ mvn compile > ... > [INFO] --- maven-compiler-plugin:3.1:compile (precompile-sources-for-cdk) @ > richfaces-framework --- > [INFO] Changes detected - recompiling the module! > [INFO] Compiling 915 source files to > /mnt/workspace/workspaces/richfaces/richfaces5/framework/target/classes > ... > {code} > The source code of the affected project: > https://github.com/richfaces/richfaces5/tree/077dcfc0a46d03d7ba9a7ac3e701a4adfb834c71 -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA.
