David M. Lloyd commented on MCOMPILER-320:
------------------------------------------

What then is the recommendation if I need to do multiple compilation stages 
that are layered?  For example say I want to compile some classes against one 
API variation and some against another, and then include them in the same final 
artifact?  I can do this easily with multiple compilation executions, provided 
that I can add the class paths of the lower layers in at compile time.  If I 
had to publish intermediate artifacts for everything, it would get extremely 
complex.

> Allow additional class path items to be given during compilation

> At present it is very difficult to include additional class path items during 
> compilation that are not dependencies.  But this is a very useful capability, 
> especially when doing partial builds, MR JARs, JDK API stubbing, including 
> dependency items that cannot be included in any other build phase or 
> execution, etc.
> This enhancement and pull request are to request the addition of a 
> {{additionalCompilePathItems}} property in CompilerMojo or 
> AbstractCompilerMojo which includes additional filesystem paths in the 
> compilation class path.
