Modular Maven builds in stateless Jenkins workers

Maven is a pretty smart piece of software. Among its many capabilities it knows to build only the modified code since the last build (unless you run the “clean” directive.
When building in a stateless Jenkins workers for the reasons stated in the previous post, we lose these abilities, since every builds starts with an empty workspace.
