-------------------------------------
Assignee: Olivier Lamy
> Detect stale files and skip generation if not needed
> ----------------------------------------------------
>
> Key: MJAVADOC-626
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/MJAVADOC-626
> Project: Maven Javadoc Plugin
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Components: javadoc
> Affects Versions: 3.1.1
> Reporter: Guillaume Nodet
> Assignee: Olivier Lamy
> Priority: Major
> Time Spent: 20m
> Remaining Estimate: 0h
>
> In Apache Camel, we do use javadoc during the build as we have a few things
> that are generated from the javadoc. However, javadoc can take quite some
> time to build, so I came up with a stale file/config detection mechanism in
> order to avoid recomputing the javadoc if there is no change.
>
> The idea is to compute an _input_ _state_ consisting of all the command line
> options (flattening the {{@xxx}} options) and the list of all input files
> along with their last modification date. Before actually executing the
> command line, we compare the current state with the last saved state and skip
> the execution if there is no change.
> The code is visible in this commit mainly:
> [https://github.com/apache/camel/pull/3233/commits/57903a94f82413022afc594e374fb3dff4f7578a]
> and if there is an agreement, I can create a correct PR to incorporate the
> change.
