Out of interest... How many modules is that? How many java files? Any code generation happening like XMLBeans etc? Also does that half day include or exclude test execution time?
I worked somewhere, where the build was 3 hours not including tests, by simply upgrading from maven 2.x to 3 and splitting some of the code into smaller modules I managed to drop the build to 20 minutes. Compiling 10 modules each with 200 java files is much quicker than compiling 2,000 java files at once. On 17 April 2012 15:24, Srinath C <[email protected]> wrote: > Wow!
