Description

Many java developers set the project's output in Eclipse to target/classes to save compilation time of BuildR.

Say I change a file:

• jar task depends on compile.target
• compile.target depends on compile task
• compile task's needed? method checks Base#needed?
• Base#needed? compares sources, classes and dependencies timestamps
  ==> since eclipse compiled the source, Base#needed? returns fals
  ==> nothing is done (jar is not repackaged)

Suggestion: Jar task should compare jar and classes timestamp. if there are newer classes, it is needed to be executed
