If you are building your entire system, including unit tests, in under 10 minutes that should be good enough. 6 minutes is fine. It gives you time to stretch your legs, go to the loo, grab a drink. The alternatives are: * manually select which modules to build, (i.e only the ones you changed) - generally it is faster to run it at the project root than cd around typing mvn commands * setup your IDE to use direct project references instead of ~/.m2/repository references - then you can develop without running maven at all !!!! You only run maven just prior to committing the changes back, which is much less often and you can afford the waste of 6 minutes. * turn off plugins for development and make sure they are on for continuous development. e.g. you may not need to run checkstyle as your IDE is already checking this. The main problem you would have with a multi-cpu build would be understanding the console output. Since maven isn't threaded already the output would be interwoven and impossible to understand. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
