Thank you all for sharing your thoughts. I know Maven start is slower, but I learned to live with it. It is interesting to hear that some of you maintain a dual Ant based copy of your project metadata. Once we were trying a different approach: There is a way to speed Maven in the IDE. Launch Maven, let it read all XML & co. files and stop it. As soon as we need to build/run/test, wake up this zombie Maven process, tell it what to do and let it continue. If the XML files are modified, throw the process away and initialize it again. Tomáš Stupka implemented a prototype of this and there were no issues, as far as I know (nobody tested it thoroughly however). Maybe the support is even in and there is a property to turn it on. If the Maven startup is the biggest problem for you guys, we shall investigate how to turn Tomáš's work on... -jt --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [email protected] For additional commands, e-mail: [email protected] For further information about the NetBeans mailing lists, visit: https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/NETBEANS/Mailing+lists
