Description

I've created a module for a new file type, containing a package-info.java file with a @TemplateRegistration annotation.

When I change the parameters of this annotation, the generated-layer.xml isn't rebuilt, thus changes are ignored.

When I change some target directories (I don't want to do a clean build because I don't want to remove userdir), I sometimes get Exceptions when I try running after rebuilding, so removing is not really a good workaround. As it doesn't happen always, I had to investigate, when this happens, but it's also useless, if this bug gets fixed.
