I had an evil idea... https://github.com/stephenc/reactor-snapshot-maven-plugin
So the idea is to let you do things and resume quicker while doing things that need the reactor artifacts when you don't want to invoke the full lifecycle e.g. mvn package com.github.stephenc.maven:reactor-snapshot-maven-plugin:1.0-SNAPSHOT:take mvn com.github.stephenc.maven:reactor-snapshot-maven-plugin:1.0-SNAPSHOT:restore javadoc:jar com.github.stephenc.maven:reactor-snapshot-maven-plugin:1.0-SNAPSHOT:take mvn com.github.stephenc.maven:reactor-snapshot-maven-plugin:1.0-SNAPSHOT:restore source:jar com.github.stephenc.maven:reactor-snapshot-maven-plugin:1.0-SNAPSHOT:take mvn com.github.stephenc.maven:reactor-snapshot-maven-plugin:1.0-SNAPSHOT:restore install:install deploy:deploy mvn com.github.stephenc.maven:reactor-snapshot-maven-plugin:1.0-SNAPSHOT:restore site Now this might ultimately need an extension helper so that things like -rf will work better... but I wanted to try it out first. The issue I have is persisting and looking up the artifact handlers... the current way is hacky in the extreme and relies on the sisu injection picking the same order (which may not always be valid due to the lifecycle goals you might specify) So, anyone care to tell me the "right" way to hack this! -Stephen
