Jörg Schaible commented on MCOMPILER-213:
-----------------------------------------
And who checks the parent(s) and all pom's of the SNAPSHOT dependencies? The
current POM might not even have been touched! And what if my last compilation
selected a different profile ... ? The only option is to keep metadata about
the sequence and the individual elements of the classpath (separated for
compile/test) and compare those.
> maven compiler plugin doesn't detect change in pom.xml

> Key: MCOMPILER-213
> URL: https://jira.codehaus.org/browse/MCOMPILER-213
> Project: Maven Compiler Plugin
> Issue Type: Bug
> Affects Versions: 3.0, 3.1
> Environment: any
> Reporter: Jigar Joshi
> Priority: Minor
>
> Background:
> we are using maven build to build around 200 project tree, change in one
> single module costs building whole tree, to avoid it we switched to
> incremental build and I wrote a plugin that will periodically do full clean
> build after configurable period of time
> Issue:
> maven-compiler-plugin supports incremental compilation and only compiles the
> source that was modified that is nice feature, however it is not quite
> working well in following cases
> - if there is a change in pom.xml (for example:change in dependency scope),
> it doesn't detect it as change and doesn't recompile that and all effecting
> projects
> {{org.apache.maven.plugin.compiler.AbstractCompilerMojo.isDependencyChanged()}}
> should cover it
> Verified this on revision {{1495788}}
