Maven 3 multithreading works very well – as long as your plugins support it! \u00a0It’s still in an experimental mode but we are using it on our project to cut our build times in half. \u00a0And its much easier to implement than Ant’s parallel thread\u00a0functionality.\u00a0\u00a0 \u00a0On another project with Ant I multithreaded our build \u00a0\u2013 would take out almost 25% with parallelizing ant builds. \u00a0Maven claims a 50% reduction and I believe it.<\/p>\n
So . . .good news<\/strong><\/em> \u2013 it works great.<\/p>\n Bad news<\/strong><\/em> \u2013 not all plugins are set up for multithreading yet (from Maven), like sonar, so it can\u2019t be used it in a full build process yet.\u00a0 You could probably write a two-step process though; one multithreaded and one not.<\/p>\n mvn -T 4 clean install<\/em><\/strong> –>ran our build with 4 total threads, cuts build time almost in half!<\/p>\n I have an 8-core machine, so if I run it with one thread per core:<\/p>\nRunning<\/h3>\n
