Fred,

I haven't looked yet, but the code defend against the user making repeated 
edits to the POMs? Basically preventing against endless builds? I'm certainly 
in favour of trying the strategy and being perfect is the enemy of the good, 
but it would still be nice to keep in mind keeping the workspace build from 
spiraling out of control.

Is the maven-compiler-plugin our worst case scenario? Something that triggers 
full workspace build? We have any other connectors that require full-scale 
workspace rebuild? At least in the project setup that I have the 
maven-compiler-plugin doesn't change in practice but the configuration of other 
plugins will frequently and this would be a nice addition to help users.
