Well one problem with the current build system is the time taken, not only
to build it, but to test it, taking around 20 hours. A modular build will
speed development, allowing developers to concentrate on one module and the
tests applicable to that module.
Don't we get around this by only specifying certain test categories or
even individual tests? Would better documentation/examples on how to
do that solve the problem equally well?
When building on Hudson, isn't one 20 hour build the same thing a 20
one hour module builds?
What did I miss?
I'm not trying to rubbish all the effort that has gone into the Maven
build (and that other one the name of which escapes me). I do
apologise if it looks that way. I'm just trying to understand.
There are many reasons other than shortened build and test times, these
will become evident later, for now the modular build is in skunk, I
encourage people to have a look and get involved as it progresses.
Cheers,
