I don't see much sense to do what you say in an install goal, as it's used when making
releases, neither in an install-snapshot as usually you will clean first to ensure
everything is correctly built

Key: MPJAR-33
Summary: jar:install copies jar even when no changes have occurred
Type: Improvement
Status: Open
Priority: Major

Description:
jar:install copies the built jar from the target area to the local repository even if
the jar has no changes. This can cause a snowball effect on builds if you are using
the reactor for instance. When testing a large project (before a release) it can be
cumbersome since the build time is increased significantly.
As an example, I currently use the reactor to build 26 separate jars with all of them
dependent on the base component. if I change one of them and then re-run the build it
builds everything because the base jar is being copied back into the repository even
if I don' change it. This causes the reactor to build all of the other jars and
so-forth.
All that is needed is to change the jar:install copy line...remove the overwrite
attribute and the builds speed up...It doesn't break anything either since you can
alway runs a clean before a major build but when testing you can just keep running
maven without the clean...you would be saving a lot of disk activity around the world
by removing the overwrite attribute.
