It only compiles classes you changed (and that's not unique to just maven). If you want to control which projects/modules 'to build or not to build' - you can define that in profiles. If you want to build only specific files in a project then probably your project isn't well organized (most likely too big and needs a split up). Besides you can always build only module you want.
