I’m curious if anyone has worked on distributed builds and testing for maven.
It seems like a lot of the framework is there. At the very minimum the parallel builds framework could by used by implementing a maven backend daemon system and build protocol. I think at a minimum it would work with the version control plugins to pull on a worker node.. then have maven copy any locally changed files, then do the build remotely, then transfer the resulting artifacts back to the local machine. For small builds I don’t think anyone would notice any performance change. For large builds the performance could be substantial. I think the trick would be to make it work with tools like IntelliJ so that the remote builds would just be triggered and automagically work.
