If you see a lot of time spent in resolving the target platform, you can set up some p2 mirrors on local filesystem and enable them for Tycho via settings.xml. See http://wiki.eclipse.org/Tycho/Target_Platform/Authentication_and_Mirrors. It would replace all remote access to Nexus proxy by a filesystem access, so it can save a lot of time. For JBoss Tools, we also set up the concept of "unified" target platform which avoids referencing too many sites from the target platform. This unified target platform aggregate all the content of the various sites we need, and put them in a single location. Having a single location makes dependency resolution a bit faster. Those possible improvements to target-platforms are explained here: http://www.slideshare.net/mickaelistria/a-journey-with-target-platforms . But there may be some other time-consuming operations. You'll need to actually look at how build happens and find which operations that the most time to figure out what can be improved.
Hi, Picking up an old thread...I tried setting up the target-platform-utils plugin to mirror a target platform as a p2 repo, but could not figure out how to specify the .target file name. This is what I tried:
<plugin>
<groupId>org.jboss.tools.tycho-plugins</groupId>
<artifactId>target-platform-utils</artifactId>
<version>0.19.0-SNAPSHOT</version>
<executions>
<execution>
<id>create-mirror-repo</id>
<phase>install</phase>
<goals>
<goal>mirror-target-to-repo</goal>
</goals>
<configuration>
<targetFile>${basedir}/kepler.target</targetFile>
</configuration>
</execution>
</executions>
</plugin>
I search but couldn't find any documentation for this plugin. /Jesper -- *Jesper Eskilson* /Development Engineer/ IAR Systems AB Box 23051, Strandbodgatan 1 SE-750 23 Uppsala, SWEDEN E-mail: jesper.eskilson@xxxxxxx <mailto:jesper.eskilson@xxxxxxx> Website: www.iar.com <http://www.iar.com> Twitter: www.twitter.com/iarsystems <http://www.twitter.com/iarsystems>
