Hi, I am trying to pinpoint a performance issue we are incurring with maven under Jenkins. Basically what we are seeing is that maven is taking a very long time getting past the initial 'Scanning for projects' message. As you can see in below snippet, more than half a minute elapses before the first module is starting to build.
*00:00:11.634* Maven home: /home/ci/jenkins/data/tools/hudson.tasks.Maven_MavenInstallation/maven3*00:00:11.634* Java version: 1.7.0_80, vendor: Oracle Corporation*00:00:11.634* Java home: /home/ci/jenkins/data/tools/hudson.model.JDK/jdk1.7/jre*00:00:11.634* Default locale: en, platform encoding: ISO646-US*00:00:11.634* OS name: "sunos", version: "5.10", arch: "sparc", family: "unix" *00:00:11.757* [INFO] Scanning for projects... *00:00:42.350* [INFO] *00:00:42.350* [INFO] ------------------------------------------------------------------------*00:00:42.350* [INFO] Building Document Implementation 0.2-SNAPSHOT This is a very small project we're building, containing only one maven module. In this case it's half a minute, we have seen other maven builds where it takes 2-3 minutes or more. Can anyone tell me what maven is doing in this 'Scanning for projects' that is potentially very slow ? If i run the build in offline mode the problem disappears, but that is not an option for us. Note that developers executing builds locally do not see the same performance issue. Thanks, Jorg PS the thread on the jenkins forum https://groups.google.com/forum/#!topic/jenkinsci-users/3s2MeImr2eY
