| [platform-dev] Parallel Builds |
| 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. The problem we're running into is that parallel builds in Gradle are so much faster that we tend to lose users to Intellij, which uses Gradle as the build engine. I ran in [Mikael Istria's excellent presentation][1] that for the first time made me aware work is going on to make the build concurrent. I wonder if there are any people actively working on this and if there is any design documentation? I am going through the sources so I am learning a lot but it would be helpful what the intentions are. I understand this is all experimental, but it would be nice to have some discussion group somewhere to see if this can be moved forward. Kind regards, Peter Kriens [1]: https://www.slideshare.net/mickaelistria/parallel-builds-in-eclipse-ide-workspace-eclispecon-europe-2018 |
