@henrikno thank you for the PR! very clever solution. Sorry for the delay, I've seen this but only now got a chance to look into. So while I definitely see the benefits, the other side of this is that there should be an impact for any other usage (on this later) as reading the whole files and running them thru equals might have some performance impact that I'm yet to estimate. I'm interested to know the specifics of incremental compilation (was it just javac, or maven, gradle or something else). Is it possible to do this only when incremental compilation is executed? (I know this might be hard to answer)
