Did you turn on Maven's offline mode? In my experience the
offline mode is not reliable, you often have to switch back
online, and then you don't have the same build duration! It's
something I can't bear with Maven 2: why bother doing HTTP
requests as the jar is already fetched?!
<sigh>
Does this really matter? How often during development of a typical
webapplication do you invoke your build system? I don't know about
you but for me, using maven in a project does not mean i type "mvn
clean install" from the project root every 2 minutes. I'll invoke it
to regenerate the eclipse project files, i'll invoke it each time i
need to deliver a new EAR for testing and a few times in between to
regenerate hibernate descriptors through xdoclet. That's *it*,
everything else is pretty much IDE driven.
So frankly if you're suggesting me an alternative build system that
does less http requests, has better logging output or compiles my
code 50% faster then i can't honestly say i'm interested as it's not
at all what having a standardized build system is all about.
