Re: [m2e-dev] Scanning for changed files in a m2e compatible Maven plugi

[Anders Hammar <anders@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Ok, thanks guys. Just as I thought.
I know of the Tesla build-avoidance stuff and I can now map what
Jason's been talking about to my own recent experience.

But checking on BuildContext.isIncremental() is ok for deciding on
when to use BuildContext vs other solution?

It would be awesome to get one single solution in place. But I guess
there could be some tricky things to fix for a command-line solution?
(the current stale check in the Mojo JAXB Maven plugin has some
deficiencies)
