---------------------------------------
Summary: Interleaving of build phases
Key: MNG-7860
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/MNG-7860
Project: Maven
Issue Type: New Feature
Reporter: Christoph Läubrich
Currently a project is build bu running all its phases (e.g. [compile, test,
package,
verify|https://maven.apache.org/guides/introduction/introduction-to-the-lifecycle.html]).
Lets say we have a multi module build with a module "lib" that contains the
basic stuff so other modules depend on it (lets say "feature-a" and
"feature-b") and of course we want everything is always fine so we have a lot
of test in "lib" in compile scope.
Currently now "lib" is compiled and "feature-a" and "feature-b" have to wait
until it has finished all phases so in the worst a whole build-tree can be
blocked from building unless "lib" is finished.
*What I like to propose* is that there is a way to 'interleave' phases. For
example currently 'package' is executed *after* test, but actually it could be
performed before hands, also as soon as "lib" has passed its compile/package
phase the other projects are allowed to run (because the artifact is already
there even though not fully tested).
Of course this is only a rough description of the idea, e.g. to make this work,
one maybe want to have a new 'package-main' phase that is performed right after
'compile' (and probably a package-test phase) ....
