<http://stackoverflow.com/questions/12369233/incremental-build-in-jenkins#> I am using Jenkins 1.462 and maven version is 3.0.4. At Jenkins I enabled check-box "Incremental build - only build changed modules"
I want to figure out 2 questions: 1. *Whether incremental build is sufficient?* Here How do I trigger a Jenkins build of a single module in a multi-module Maven build from Subversion?<http://stackoverflow.com/questions/10318037/how-do-i-trigger-a-jenkins-build-of-a-single-module-in-a-multi-module-maven-buil>for example is stated that it doesn't work at 100% Here http://www.slideshare.net/andrewbayer/7-habits-of-highly-effective-jenkins-usersat page 19 is stated that incremental builds are complementary to full builds, not replacements. 2. *Whether Incremental build - only build changed modules is actually works as expected?* What I mean by this? If I have modules A, B, X, C, D. X uses A and B, C use X, D use C and I make change in X module. Than I want to recompile modules X (itslef), C (that use X directly) and D (that is in transitive closure; D use C, that use C). Note: this is the only change that I did in order to enable incremental build.
