One of the nastier parts of validation which causes problems is less
that the java file changes and the wo is not updated (this is
relatively easy and we mostly have this right), but when a component
(or api file) changes and you have to update all dependent
components. We don't do this at all, because it's REALLY expensive to
do. Either we have to maintain an index of all component dependencies
(that we construct at build time or something) or we have to do a
"full workspace scan" to find any possible references and revalidate
them. That and just making validation anywhere close to "fast" in the
first place ....
