Hi Marc-André,
I think it's a very good idea. I recently had to add a dependency to the
tmf project, I added it to the target definition, but had (and still
have) no idea where to put that dependency for maven and the build still
fails :( Using the target definition seems an easier way and if it
improves build time, all the better!

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.
