Robert Scholte closed MCOMPILER-233.
------------------------------------
Resolution: Incomplete
Assignee: Robert Scholte
> Default build mode doesn't recompile all dependencies, causing
> NoSuchMethodError/NoSuchFieldError at runtime
> ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
>
> Key: MCOMPILER-233
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/MCOMPILER-233
> Project: Maven Compiler Plugin
> Issue Type: Bug
> Affects Versions: 2.0.2, 3.0
> Environment: Linux amd64
> Reporter: Török Edwin
> Assignee: Robert Scholte
> Attachments: build.log

>
> I build a project with 'mvn package', change the type of a field/method in
> one source file, run 'mvn package' again and it only rebuilds the changed
> file, and not the other classes that depend on it.
> This can cause NoSuchMethodError/NoSuchFieldError when/if the code is reached
> at runtime. (at least Java 1.7 didn't detect this at class load time).
> Due to MCOMPILER-209 it is not entirely obvious how to turn off these partial
> builds, for example if I put
> {{<useIncrementalCompilation>true</useIncrementalCompilation>}} in my pom.xml
> then both source files are recompiled and the program works correclty so I
> would think that incremental compilation is NOT used in that case? Confusing.
> It appears that the only reliable way to build a project is to run 'mvn clean
> package' instead of just 'mvn package'.
> Maven should probably print a warning when using the partial builds, and the
> documentation should be updated to warn of these inconsistencies.
> Or perhaps you could run a final checking step after all files are compiled
> that checks whether the .class files are all still consistent (like a linker
> step).
> Self-contained testcase:
> {noformat}
> #!/bin/sh
> set -e
> {noformat}
> \# Setup initial project
> {{mvn archetype:generate -DgroupId=com.example.bug -DartifactId=build-bug
> -DarchetypeArtifactId=maven-archetype-quickstart -DinteractiveMode=false}}
> {{cd build-bug}}
> {code:title=src/main/java/com/example/bug/App.java}
> package com.example.bug;
> public class App
> {
> public static void main( String[] args )
> {
> System.out.println( new Other().foo() );
> }
> }
> {code}
> {code:title=src/main/java/com/example/bug/Other.java }
> package com.example.bug;
> public class Other {
> Integer foo() { return new Integer(42); }
> }
> {code}
> {{mvn package java -cp target/build-bug-1.0-SNAPSHOT.jar com.example.bug.App}}
> \# Make a change
> sed -i -e 's/Integer/Long/g' src/main/java/com/example/bug/Other.java
> \# Watch how incremental compilation breaks everything
> {{mvn -X package >build.log}}
> {{java -cp target/build-bug-1.0-SNAPSHOT.jar com.example.bug.App}}
