From mobile apps to microservices, from small startups to big enterprises, Gradle helps teams build, automate and deliver better software, faster.

perhaps provide some context as to your current setup - Gradle version, build script?

Maybe a build scan if possible, or maybe `--info` logging

Gradle version 5.6.4
`--info:`
```Task':compileJava' is not up-to-date because:
input property 'source' file ***/java has changed.
Created classpath snapshot for incremental compilation in 0.034 secs.
Full recompilation is required because ****.java  was changed.```

Gradle 5.6.4 was released ~ 4yrs ago, you should probably upgrade first :slightly_smiling_face:

But, actually incremental Java compilation is enabled by default since Gradle 4.10.
So if you did not disable incremental Java compilation, it should usually work.
But without a full `--info` log or a build scan it will be hard to tell what might be wrong.

Besides that <@UF050PN14> is right of course too.
