The scope of plexus-build-api is strictly limited to eclipse
integration. As such, it does not provide enough fidelity to implement
proper command line incremental build. In fact, even inside eclipse
plexus-build-api does not correctly handle stale output cleanup, so we
have to do Project/Clean after removing project resources, for example.
Although m2e will support plexus-build-api for the foreseeable future,
I think plugins that use it should migrate to the new API to get both
correct behaviour inside eclipse and incremental build support on
command line. I may even try to encourage migration with error/info
markers about plexus-build-api usage in m2e, but I have not decided yet.

Hi Jason,
Interesting.
What is the plan about org.sonatype.plexus:plexus-build-api already integrated
in some plugins?
Given the expected large diffusion of this API, wouldn't it be wise to put it
at Apache?
or Eclipse?
(I won't rehash previous discussions about freedom and preferences from each
people)

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. 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+.

People develop abstractions by generalizing from concrete examples.
Every attempt to determine the correct abstraction on paper without
actually developing a running system is doomed to failure. No one
is that smart. A framework is a resuable design, so you develop it by
looking at the things it is supposed to be a design of. The more examples
you look at, the more general your framework will be.
