This is very important if it's the case in the current version.

Build Fresh = true which is why it build. Build fresh will always build the project.

The documentation [1] says:

Check Build Fresh to do a fresh checkout from SCM before the build process.
Check Always Build if you want to execute the goal every time you build the project.

The way I read that, they seem to be independent options.

If Build Fresh really implies Always Build then the documentation needs to make this clear.

Seems to me it would be more useful if Build Fresh did not force a build.
Instead, it should force a fresh checkout if the build was scheduled for some other reason, such as Always Build or a dependency change.

The problem still exists in Version 1.3.7 (Build Number: 1068386). It's now more than a year since the issue has been created.
Do you need help addressing this issue?

You can assign it to me if you like.
