[GitHub] [maven-compiler-plugin] rmannibucau commented on pull request #160: [MCOMPILER-515] This plugin is not "incremental"

rmannibucau commented on PR #160:
URL: https://github.com/apache/maven-compiler-plugin/pull/160#issuecomment-1347928885

   think there are multiple points mixed there:
   
   * Default behavior (incremental=true) is to not recompile if upstream didn't change -> we must keep it IMHO
   * Toggle behavior (incremental=false) is to only recompile what changed (if you have 10 source files and modified 1 then you only recompile this last one). This mode is broken I agree for a lot of reasons in java ecosystem (annot proc being an example).
   
   So overall I think it makes sense to keep at least the default behavior
