[jira] [Commented] (MCOMPILER-368) package-info.java always triggers recompilation of module

    [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/MCOMPILER-368?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=16722398#comment-16722398 ] 

Gili commented on MCOMPILER-368:
--------------------------------

I found FLINK-8847 which explains what is happening:
{quote}To detect modified files the compiler compares timestamps of the source and .class file. In the case of {{package-info.java}} no .class file is created if *it doesn't contain annotations*, which the compiler interprets as a missing .class file. 
{quote}
*Expected behavior*: maven-compiler-plugin should emit some additional metadata to prevent needless recompilation in this case.

>             Project: Maven Compiler Plugin
>          Issue Type: Bug
>    Affects Versions: 3.8.0
>         Environment: Microsoft Windows [Version 10.0.17763.194]
> Maven 3.6.0
> maven-compiler-plugin 3.8.0
>            Reporter: Gili
>            Priority: Major
>         Attachments: testcase.zip

>
> # Unzip testcase
>  # Run: mvn install
>  # Notice that maven-compiler-plugin always claims package-info.java is stale and forces recompilation of entire module
> When package-info.java is present in large modules build times suffer noticeably.
