Hi We are using maven-bundle-plugin for generating OSGI Manifests. Apart from compilation, bundle-plugin takes most amount of time during build. In some projects it takes more than 3 seconds to generate Manifest. In a multi-module project Manifest generation takes more 30 seconds.
I'm interested in improving the bundle-plugin performance. I checked out the code and did basic analysis. Here is what I found. ( Please correct me if I am wrong ) [1] total time taken by the plugin 3000 ms [2] Analyzer.analyse() takes 1800+ ms [3] Analyzer.analyzeJar() takes 1450+ ms Nearly half of the time is spent in reading and parsing the class files. It is done in a single thread. Is it a good idea to, read and parse the files in parallel, with multiple threads? Is there a better alternative to improve performance? Thanks Nambi
