I am Peter Kriens, one of the leads of Bndtools. I am currently looking how to
parallelize the Bndtools build. bnd is a _headless_ build _model_ that is used
to program the _driver_. Bndtools is such a drivers, as is Gradle, ant, and a
command line application.
The problem we're running into is that parallel builds in Gradle are so much
faster that we tend to lose users to Intellij, which uses Gradle as the build
engine. I ran in [Mikael Istria's excellent presentation][1] that for the first
time made me aware work is going on to make the build concurrent.
I wonder if there are any people actively working on this and if there is any
design documentation? I am going through the sources so I am learning a lot but
it would be helpful what the intentions are. I understand this is all
experimental, but it would be nice to have some discussion group somewhere to
see if this can be moved forward.
Kind regards,
Peter Kriens
