Pom projects can have "source" files too!

New feature, improvement proposal

Currently, because of this line, the hash of a pom module is solely based on the pom itself.

Yet, it is very common IMO to have source files in a pom project, especially a parent pom project. For example, checkstyle configuration files should be considered source files and trigger a re-run of the checkstyle goals if they do change.

It is also true for project who generate archives like liquibase bundle or angular front.
I usually use pom and assembly plugin : it do not need to deploy a jar
