[pde-build-dev] Avoiding Multiple Builds of Nested Features


I have a couple more questions about PDE build.  By the way - is the mailing list a good place to be asking these, or is the platform newsgroup a better forum?

Anyway - let's say for simplicity that I have the following structure where two features nest the same shared feature:

Feature X
  +- Common Feature A

Feature Y
  +- Common Feature A

Now, if I write my customTargets.xml to build
Feature X and Feature Y, PDE build automatically builds the nested feature - but will PDE build Common Feature A twice?  I think it will.

Also, is it the same for the assemble stage?  I assume I only have to specify the assembly of Feature X and Feature Y, and the assembly of Common Feature A will happen automatically - but will it happen twice here as well?

If the above is behaviour is correct, now that I have gone through and reorganized all of my features to be nested my build time is going to skyrocket.  It will basically be building the majority of my common features 5 or 6 times!  Nooooooo!

Thanks
Mark.
