Description

Current Behavior

The MBUILDCACHE-76 has broken cache reuse between project versions in a multi-module projects, i.e. changing version from 1.0.0-SNAPSHOT to 1.0.0 causes the cache to miss the checksum validation which causes full rebuild of the project.

Expected Behavior 

The build cache version normalization should support project version agnostic caches, so that restoring project from cache avoids repeating expensive tasks like running tests according to  features: https://maven.apache.org/extensions/maven-build-cache-extension/index.html

Possible Solutions

• Disable cache for releases if the build requires rebuild due to version changes.
• Introduce a feature flag configuration to use project version in checksum calculations for cache invalidation
