Following the recent work done to integrate the maven caching / incremental build system into maven, I think it's now time to discuss where we want its long-term location to be.
This extension was donated a few months ago and provides local and remote caching of maven project's output, based on computed hashes of the inputs. It's defined as a maven extension and can be used as a core or build extension. This avoids building the project and speeds up builds a lot ! The current status of this work resides in 3 branches: * MNG-7129-3.8.x (PR at https://github.com/apache/maven/pull/622) * MNG-7129-master (PR at https://github.com/apache/maven/pull/607) * https://github.com/apache/maven/tree/MNG-7129-maven-caching The two first PRs include the required changes to integrate the extension in maven 3.8.x (or rather 3.9.x) and in master. The last branch is the one that should be moved to a separate repository and contain the code for the extension. The goal is to agree on the location and the final name for the repository (it can't be changed easily). I propose maven-caching as the repository / subproject name, but any better name is welcomed of course. -- ------------------------ Guillaume Nodet
