Maven Extension Idea: iJar support

[Farid Zakaria]

I was combing through Bazel  (google's build tool) and
found a concept called iJar

iJar is basically a stripped out version of the Jar removing everything but
the public method signatures (very stripped out byte code jar).

Their build tool uses iJars in determining if upstream dependencies can be
skipped to be rebuilt. The idea being: if the interface (iJar) of the
current project hasn't changed (SHA), there's no need to rebuild upstream
dependencies since any possible method they'd have used did not change.

My guess is this would be a good way to speed up "-amd"
(also-make-dependents) by quickly stopping the build based on the iJar.

Could this be done as a maven extension?

http://search.maven.org/#search%7Cga%7C1%7Cfc%3A%
22org.openjdk.source.tree.Tree%22

Use class-based search on central to locate such artifacts.

Cheers,
Jörg
