>> The microbenchmark compilation is not using the `Depend` plugin that avoids recompilation of other files if the change files only contain minor changes (i.e. non-API changes). The patch here proposes to enhance the build to use the `Depend` plugin. The change that enables that is `CREATE_API_DIGEST := true,`, but since both the `Depend` plugin and JMH framework needs to be added to the classpath the patch re-organizes the code a little to properly augment the classpath.
