Another performance booster that needs to be made if anyone finds the time (I want to do it, but...):
But what? :)
refactor all the <ant> invocations in the module buildfiles to use 1.6+ <import>s. These allow composable, multi-inheritance buildfiles, and because all targets execute in the same project context memory usage is drastically decreased, while performance is noticeably increased. The top-level buildfiles would probably use the <subant> task to invoke the module builds. Finally, know that Ant 1.7 is (finally!) on the horizon. One minor addition it will bring, that directly relates to a recent topic here, are the "magic properties" ant.build.javac.source and ant.build.javac.target . Anyone wanna guess what they do? And in case anyone wonders, these were not introduced for any reason directly related to Harmony; this is simply an example of convergent evolution.
