Michael Panchenko commented on MCOMPILER-21:
--------------------------------------------

Why you can't use
  http://maven.apache.org/ref/2.2.1/maven-core/apidocs/org/apache/maven/execution/MavenSession.html#getStartTime()
  http://maven.apache.org/ref/3.0.4/maven-core/apidocs/org/apache/maven/execution/MavenSession.html#getStartTime()
to get build start time?


Instead of that you use

{code}
+    protected Date getBuildStartTime()
+    {
+        try
+        {
+            Method getRequestMethod = session.getClass().getMethod( "getRequest" );
+            Object mavenExecutionRequest = getRequestMethod.invoke( session );
+            Method getStartTimeMethod = mavenExecutionRequest.getClass().getMethod( "getStartTime" );
+            Date buildStartTime = (Date) getStartTimeMethod.invoke( mavenExecutionRequest );
+            return buildStartTime;
+        }
+        catch ( Exception e )
+        {
+            getLog().debug( "unable to get start time for the current build: " + e.getMessage() );
+        }
+
+        return new Date();
+    }
{code}

> there are probably other ways we can make the compiler stale check smarter. List them out here if you think of them.
