This is going to sound like an odd, possibly stupid question. When I run 'mvn install' on a multi-project, maven will loop through the projects in the list. It appears that even though most of the jar projects have no changes, it rebuilds each jar. Obviously the compiler leaves the classes alone unless I do a clean first, but the jar gets built each time. I would imagine things would be faster if this didn't happen.

Same with the war plugin.

Normally this might not be big deal, but I've implemented war composition with webapps. It'll leave the dependent wars alone if they're older, but if not it'll extract, then rebuild the whole thing. Because 'mvn install' is building the final outputs each time, even if things haven't changed, each webapp build is doing the full extract and re-package.

However, this seems like a fairly general question. Its also quite possible that I'm doing something strange.

Thanks in advance,
