Paul Benedict commented on MNG-5885: ------------------------------------ I tend to agree with you but for a different reason. First, "compile package" does not look like garbage; it looks like someone just explicitly listed out the phases they are most interested in. However, it's surprising this is not a runtime error, honestly. I don't believe optimizing is the right solution here but rejecting the syntax altogether. I don't believe we should allow more than one phase to be explicitly listed. > Optimize execution when phases of same lifecycle are called > ----------------------------------------------------------- > > Key: MNG-5885 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/MNG-5885 > Project: Maven > Issue Type: Sub-task > Components: Plugins and Lifecycle > Affects Versions: 3.3.3 > Reporter: Robert Scholte > Fix For: 3.x / Backlog > > > In case someone calls {{compile package}} there's no need for the separate > {{compile}} call. Now the lifecycle is executed twice: once until {{compile}} > and once again until {{package}}. > Note: {{package compile}} is weird due to its order, but should not be > optimized. {{compile resources:copy-resources package}} is a bit complicated. > Ideally this should call all phases up until {{compile}}, followed by > {{resources:copy-resources}}, followed by the {{process-classes}} to > {{package}} phases. -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v6.3.4#6332)
