If this is something needed, ask for it through Maven's JIRA and it
shall be done... :-)

The problem with integration tests and only running tests if something
has changed is that the conditions to test are difficult; you would need
to test for:

- a change in the runtime source code (easy)
- a change in the test source code (easy)
- a change in the container configuration (harder because not generic)
- a change in the container invocation parameters (harder because not
generic)
- more generally any change in the environment

That makes it difficult to provide this feature out-of-the-box in the
Maven plugin for Cactus.
