IIRC Java still defines the workspace locking rule, hence its build cannot
run in parallel. For PDE I think Mickael enabled parallel builds via
https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=531555
For JDT I think the work is discussed in
https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=531554 and

IIRC the parallel builds works if you have independent projects. So if you have
B->A and C->A, then you can build A, then build B&C in parallel.
If you have C->B->A then there won’t be any parallelisation.
ISTR that B is blocked until A is built completely, even if parts of B could go
ahead fro
Cool.
I am new to this too. I have activated it (set to 5 (5 jobs?). But a full
java build takes just as long and I do not see multiple build jobs.
I have a 270 project workspace. For normal 99% work, the incremental build
is working fine. It is slow (or rather, it takes a long time) when a full

I think if we have a default of ‘max parallel builds: 1’ (or alternatively,
‘parallel builds: false’ and no-one knows about the feature, it’s as good as
non existent to those who use Eclipse.
Can we update the default to ‘true’ or ‘max processors’ or ‘half processors’ or
similar, so we can enab

Well, your description indicates that it is further along than I thought after
trying to find documentation and going through the sources.

I'm not aware of ongoing work on this topic. However, it's more or less

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.
