The only consumer is m-compiler-p itself, and even if this method is used in a subclass it should be package-protected (no modifier) since the subclasses CompilerMojo and TestCompilerMojo are on the same package. > Refactoring needed for isDependencyChanged / Using fileExtensions > (AbstractCompilerMojo) > ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- > > Key: MCOMPILER-381 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/MCOMPILER-381 > Project: Maven Compiler Plugin > Issue Type: Improvement > Affects Versions: 3.8.1 > Reporter: Karl Heinz Marbaise > Priority: Minor > Fix For: 3.12.0 > > > The code in the class AbstractCompilerMojo has a method > {{isDependencyChanged}} which uses the attribute {{fileExtensions}} which is > being changed within the {{isDependencyChanged}} method.
