[MSHARED-763] Include a dependency change detection.

[jira-importer]

Liwae Lamaa opened MSHARED-763 and commented

Currently, maven incremental compilation does not detect dependency change.

Sample scenario:

• Project A depends on Project B.
• Project B is recompiled.
• Project A should detect this change and recompile. (which is not the case currently)
• If B recompilation includes changing an interface, we expect A to recompile and fail accordingly. 

A fix was already performed on maven-compiler-plugin, but it was never merged. 

https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/MCOMPILER-278 

After recent discussion with Robert Scholte, he decided that the fix should rather be in maven-shared-incremental. I have performed the implementation for the fix in maven-shared-incremental, and I will be forking the project for that.

PS: The change include minor change in the maven-compiler-plugin for it to take effect.
