Hello, I'm am looking at using target definition files to build the project in Maven/Tycho. See https://git.eclipse.org/r/#/c/28392/
This has two advantages: 1. The target files can be used both in the Maven build and inside Eclipse, which makes the dependencies consistent 2. It speeds up the "pre-lifecycle" phase of the build (resolving dependencies). In a normal build on Hudson, it saves about 3 mins. On my machine, a full compile with 'mvn clean package' (no tests) takes 4 mins instead of 7 mins. However, it has one disadvantage: The target module has to be built first if you need to build only a specific submodule. This is a bit similar to how we had to build the license feature first before building a submodule, before the common license feature was made available. So for example, to build lttng/ one would have to: cd releng/org.linuxtools.target mvn clean install cd ../lttng mvn clean install Let me know if you think this is reasonable. Marc-Andre
