Herve Boutemy updated MJAVADOC-171: ----------------------------------- Attachment: mjavadoc-171-b.zip ok, I reproduced the case with every m-javadoc-p version, and with Maven 2.2.1 here is the result (and the script to calculate it): {noformat}$ ./mjavadoc-171.sh Apache Maven 2.2.1 (r801777; 2009-08-06 21:16:01+0200) Java version: 1.5.0_22 Java home: /home/opt/jdk1.5.0_22/jre Default locale: fr_FR, platform encoding: UTF-8 OS name: "linux" version: "2.6.38-11-generic" arch: "amd64" Family: "unix" m-javadoc-p 2.0: 3 xmlbeans, 0 compiler m-javadoc-p 2.1: 3 xmlbeans, 0 compiler m-javadoc-p 2.2: 3 xmlbeans, 0 compiler m-javadoc-p 2.3: 18 xmlbeans, 0 compiler m-javadoc-p 2.4: 0 xmlbeans, 0 compiler m-javadoc-p 2.5: 24 xmlbeans, 8 compiler m-javadoc-p 2.6: 24 xmlbeans, 8 compiler m-javadoc-p 2.6.1: 24 xmlbeans, 8 compiler m-javadoc-p 2.7: 24 xmlbeans, 8 compiler m-javadoc-p 2.8: 24 xmlbeans, 8 compiler{noformat} Here is a few facts I got that can explain some results: - test-javadoc goal was added in m-javadoc-p 2.3 - javadoc-aggregate and test-aggregate were added in m-javadoc-p 2.5, and they "Invoke the execution of the lifecycle phase generate-sources prior to executing itself." this does not really explain why, but here are some facts some numbers are different from yours: can you run the script on your machine and share your results? > Modules in multi-module projects are "built" too often > ------------------------------------------------------ > > Key: MJAVADOC-171 > URL: https://jira.codehaus.org/browse/MJAVADOC-171 > Project: Maven 2.x Javadoc Plugin > Issue Type: Bug > Affects Versions: 2.3 > Environment: Maven 2.0.8, Linux > Reporter: Stefan Seidel > Assignee: Herve Boutemy > Priority: Critical > Fix For: 2.8 > > Attachments: 2.2.log, 2.3.log, mjavadoc-171-b.zip, mjavadoc171.patch, > mjavadoc-171.zip, mvnexec.zip > > > In a multi-module project, all modules are "built" twice for each module. > This leads to huge performance problems when many modules are in a project. > In the attached sample project, the xmlbeans plugin is executed 27 times for > a project with one parent module and two submodules. 18 of these executions > can be attributed to the javadoc plugin. With version 2.2, only 3 invocations > (once for each project) are caused by the javadoc plugin. -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA.
