alascbio opened a new issue, #496:
URL: https://github.com/apache/maven-build-cache-extension/issues/496
### New feature, improvement proposal
**Description**
At the moment, the build cache extension supports
maven.build.cache.skipCache as a module-level property in pom.xml,
allowing specific modules to skip cache lookup.
However, maven.build.cache.skipSave does not currently behave the same way:
it can be set from the CLI, but not as a module-level property.
This creates an inconsistency in multi-module builds.
A concrete issue is that a module can be configured with:
```
<properties>
<maven.build.cache.skipCache>true</maven.build.cache.skipCache>
</properties>
```
to avoid reading from the cache, while still writing new entries to the
cache at the end of the build.
In practice, this means a module can be excluded from cache lookup but still
update the cache, which is not always desirable.
**Expected behavior**
Support the following in module pom.xml:
```
<properties>
<maven.build.cache.skipSave>true</maven.build.cache.skipSave>
</properties>
```
When set on a module, this property should prevent cache writes for that
module,
while still allowing cache reads unless maven.build.cache.skipCache=true is
also set.
This would make skipSave consistent with the existing module-level behavior
of skipCache.
