> As a user I want to skip repeated invocations of invoker:run goal when the
> sources have not changed so that incremental builds when the test projects
> are unmodified.
> My team have been using the Maven Invoker Plugin’s run goal to package some
> sample test projects during pre-integration-test which we then use during
> integration tests. We’re not using it to test a maven plugin but it doesn’t
> feel like we’re straying very far from the intended use case. The approach
> works well but as we add more test projects the time taken for each increases
> as each test project is rebuilt, even when the test project hasn’t changed at
> all. People making changes to unrelated parts of the codebase don’t want to
> rebuild these test samples for every unrelated change they make.
> As a result I’m thinking of adding an “updateOnly” (default false)
> configuration option modelled after the Maven Assembly Plugin’s, linked
> below, such that we only rebuild each project if a source file is newer than
> one of the target files.
> [https://maven.apache.org/plugins/maven-assembly-plugin/single-mojo.html#updateOnly]
>
> Given an invoker:run goal with updateOnly=false (default existing case)
> When the goal is repeated
> Then the invocation is repeated
>
> Given an invoker:run goal with updateOnly=true (new case)
> When the goal is repeated
> Then the invocation is skipped
