We handle the case of detecting stale outputs as well, where you need to delete the outputs of inputs that have been deleted. We also have a more fine-grained model underneath that allows us to model compilation units which is what we use in our incremental compilers (JDT and Javac implementations). > Anyway, I’ll use your announcement to try to engage. > Thanks! > > From: Jason van Zyl <ja...@takari.io<mailto:ja...@takari.io>> > Reply-To: Maven Users List > <users@maven.apache.org<mailto:users@maven.apache.org>> > Date: Tuesday, March 25, 2014 at 10:44 AM > To: Maven Users List <users@maven.apache.org<mailto:users@maven.apache.org>> > Subject: Incremental build API > > Hi, > > For those who are interested in incremental builds we, at Takari, have > released a general purpose incremental build API with an initial focus on > Maven.
