Hello. Is there any way I might speed up Maven? I've been using it for years and, for the first time, I'm actually executing it from an IDE rather than using the IDE's built-in compiler. It seems like there's a rather large and apparently fixed amount of overhead per invocation. Take the following "could not be simpler" project:
https://github.com/io7m/maven-minimal-20180413 I piped the output through tai64n [1] to give a better indication of exactly how long everything is taking. That's a project that compiles a single Java file and produces a jar. It doesn't run any tests, it doesn't include any resources. 16 seconds total execution [2]! Now for an infrequent command-line build, that's not *too* obnoxious. For a "click a button in the IDE because I want to try this bit of code now" build, that's a world of suffering. It seems like Maven first spends ten entire seconds doing not very much. That cannot be attributed to JVM startup time (Hello World on my system takes about 100ms to reach user code, and even the largest Java application I still takes less than a second to reach user code after all the classes have loaded). Is there anything I can do to cut this down? If not, is this something that's intended to be addressed in the near future?
