Re: Why maven-compiler-plugin seems to not take advantage of already compiled .class files?

Hello Francesco

Have you tried following configuration? It seems counter-intuitive, but
last time I tried it made compilation much faster (i.e. it seems to have
the opposite effect of what we would expect):

    <build>
      <plugins>
        <plugin>
          <artifactId>maven-compiler-plugin</artifactId>
          <configuration>
            <useIncrementalCompilation>false</useIncrementalCompilation> <!-- 
https://jira.codehaus.org/browse/MCOMPILER-209 -->
          </configuration>
        </plugin>
      </plugins>
    </build>
