There is a simple way, go to your distro folder, run "mvn -Pdistribution".

Or am i misunderstanding? ...ant On Fri, Jan 30, 2009 at 5:12 PM, Raymond Feng <[email protected]> wrote: Here is what we have so far: 1) The default maven build will produce the target/modules for the "all" distribution only 2) "mvn -Pdistribution" will produce the dir/zip/gz archives for all distros We are considering to use the "dir" formatfor sample or integration tests. The "dir" format is the same as unzipped folder from the zip/gz. At this point, the build-common.xml tries to use tuscany-distribution-all/target as the "development" distro. It might be more consistent to use "dir" distro instead. So the bottom line is that we maybe enable the "dir" format for "all" in the default maven build. Generating the dir format is very fast as far as I can tell.

Isn't it the target/modules from the "all" distro?

What if I move the time-consuming assembly part out of the default profile? Producing target/modules for the "all" distro only takes less than one minute. It should be OK to have it in the default build.

I can also move the assembly of archive part into a different profile such as "release". This way, it will only generate the artifacts in the "target" folder. "mvn -Pdistribution" will build all distros with dir, zip and gz.

We can still run "mvn -Pdistribution" to activate them. Thanks, Raymond From: ant elder Sent: Thursday, January 29, 2009 5:23 AM To: [email protected] Subject: Building only the all distribution archives As we've agreed to only have a single all distribution for now how about we stop building the actual distribution archives for the others? Currently it produces about twenty zips and tars that we don't need and that takes quite a long time on my machine and is only going to get slower as we add things. Commenting out the assembly builds for these reduces the distribution build from about 6 minutes to just over 2 for me. ...ant -- Luciano Resende Apache Tuscany, Apache PhotArk http://people.apache.org/~lresende http://lresende.blogspot.com/
