Review Comment:
   Actually there are many false-positive results, searching by  
https://github.com/search?q=%22import+org.apache.maven.plugin.compiler.AbstractCompilerMojo%22&type=code
 gives a closer look of what is actually using this class, there are a few 
results, so yes, there are external consumers.
   
   I will revert them to protected since it actually doesn't make a difference 
for what this PR is fixing.
   
   BTW, forever is a long time, I expect this plugin and others to be rewritten 
someday and drop the legacy baggage ;-)

>             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. This attribute is 
> also being used by the method {{hasNewFile}} which is a kind of confusing (a 
> control via a global variable).
> Furthermore a change in {{isDependencyChanged}} where replacing {{".class"}} 
> with {{"class"}} results in a [fail which is described here|MCOMPILER-379]. 
> It should be investigated how this code can be made more clear and maybe 
> easier to understand.
