Harald Wellmann created MNG-5896: ------------------------------------ Summary: Download dependency POMs in parallel Key: MNG-5896 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/MNG-5896 Project: Maven Issue Type: Improvement Components: Dependencies Affects Versions: 3.3.3 Reporter: Harald Wellmann
h3. Background When building a project with dependencies not yet available in the local repository, I noticed that Maven 3.3.3 first downloads the dependency POMs _sequentially_ and then proceeds downloading the dependency JARs with up to 5 threads _in parallel_. Due to this, when first building a project with a large number of dependencies, downloading a large number of small POMs may take a lot longer than downloading the much larger JARs, or even longer than building the project itself, especially when a repository manager is used which increases the download latency. h3. Enhancement Download POMs of (transitive) dependencies in parallel to significantly speed up initial builds of large projects. -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v6.3.4#6332)
