Currently i use buildforge with maven but i do execute them separately for each module, means runs mvn clean install commands from each module. This will basically cleans and compiles everything whether there is change or not. Now i'm trying to make use of incremental build function, so i changed to execute mvn install from parent project itself with the "-amd" option when i did this even though change is only in "Module C" it still did compilation on Module A & B. I can understand the compilation part of Module D when there is a change in Module C but why A & B?. Should i use incremental build instead of "-amd" option? Basically i just want to compile only changed source code files not everything everytime.
