Hi,
I've been using google dagger annotation processor with maven. Is this project (https://github.com/natros/dagger2-mcp-test) when I make a change I have to clean install otherwise I'm getting compiler errors.
Steps to reproduce:
first time compile, compiles ok
```
./mvnw clean compile
```
changing the code
```
sed -i -e 's@AuthService@//AuthService@' src/main/java/com/github/natros/mcp/Main.java
```
compile without clean and fail
```
./mvnw compile
```
clean compile and no errors
```
./mvnw clean compile
```
On a large project it does not makes sense to clean before compiling.
This is the error I'm getting:
```
[INFO] -------------------------------------------------------------
[ERROR] COMPILATION ERROR :

```
I asked this question to dagger creators who told me that this is a maven bug not a dagger one.

Research direction
Reproduce the failure in the linked dagger2-mcp-test project with the listed clean and incremental Maven commands. Inspect the generated sources under target/generated-sources/annotations and compare the behavior with incremental_generate.patch and the linked MCOMPILER-300 issue; done means recompiling after the source change succeeds without cleaning.
