You will probably get a big improvement by breaking your project into
smaller functional modules (Think SOA) that are more stable and do not
have to be compiled for every change.
They just become dependencies in the higher level modules and are
brought in automatically by maven as required.

Hello,
I'm working on a large project that takes time to compile. I would like to
instruct Maven to only build the jar file, but after the build I have a tar,
tar.bz2, and a zip file. I am brand new to Maven, but have converted a
project to use Maven for the compilation of all component modules. In
general, I want to indicate to Maven to only create me a jar with all
dependencies rolled into that jar, and nothing else. This can be for a
particular profile, one for specific for development. The wait is too long
when I make a small change.
So I have a parent pom that is the kind that aggregates all sub-modules. In
any given module that I want to generate an executable jar for, I have a
section that looks like this:
<build>
<plugins>
<plugin>
<artifactId>maven-assembly-plugin</artifactId>
<version>${maven.assembly.plugin.version}</version>
<configuration>
<descriptors>
<descriptor>../config/maven/single-jar-assembly.xml</descriptor>
</descriptors>
<archive>
<manifest>
<mainClass>com.company.MainClass</mainClass>
</manifest>
</archive>
</configuration>
</plugin>
</plugins>
</build>
The assembly starts like this:
<assembly
xmlns="http://maven.apache.org/plugins/maven-assembly-plugin/assembly/1.1.2";
xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance";
xsi:schemaLocation="http://maven.apache.org/plugins/maven-assembly-plugin/assembly/1.1.2
http://maven.apache.org/xsd/assembly-1.1.2.xsd";>
<id>all</id>
<formats>
<format>jar</format>
</formats>
<includeBaseDirectory>false</includeBaseDirectory>
I don't have any concept of a profile right now, but I want right now to
simply suppress the creation of all the extra build artifacts. Is there a
way to do that?
Sorry if it's been asked before, but I have either not found it, or when I
did find it, I didn't understand what needed to be done. I barely eked out
the assembly.xml that I did create.
Thanks for any help you can provide,
Scott
