Thanks, I’ll take a look One of these days I was going to attempt a port of an incremental build system we developed to Maven. Some concepts include a post compile artifact byte code analyzer and comparator that classifies the nature of change to help optimize away (in some cases) the dependent transient rebuilds Of course using mvn clean would defeat this, we have a smarter clean that executes its goal only if the scm system has detected deletes… Anyway, I’ll use your announcement to try to engage. Thanks!

We've created a short, high-level description of the framework[1] and we've opened up our Git repository with the code[2]. We also have a some demos that people can look at[3]. We are, and have been, running this code in production for a few months but it is still a work in progress. We have implemented a Maven lifecycle that integrates this API but we've just started using it ourselves. We will open this lifecycle up shortly for people to try but for now, if you're interested in incremental builds take a look and let us know what you think! A note to those interested that the use of the API in Maven requires 3.2.1+.
