[tycho-user] Reduce time for building various products

[Quang Nguyen <nguyen.epost@xxxxxxxxx>]

We are building our RCP Application with Tycho. In the aggregator pom.xml we listed all of the features and plugins as modules what we have. With the structure and configuration of the project we can build different product for diverse customers.

The issue is, whenever we build a small(less features) or big product(more feature) tycho comsumes nearly constant of time because it builds all the modules we have in the pom.xml firstly. With following command we build a product:

mvn clean verify -Dproduct=pathToProduct

How can we optimize the build process with tycho that we only build the dependencies what is listed in the .product file and the required plugin listed in feature.xml of each feature folder? Doesn't tycho try to read the feature.xml file to determinate what dependencies is needed?

Maybe does some one have a reference implementation or solution to solve this issue?

Best regards,
