Re: [jira] Commented: (DERBY-190) Derby build should be incremental

Is 5-10 minutes for a full build too long? On my laptop, (with only 512 MB memory) full build takes about 6 minutes. Running tests is another matter... Takes hours to run full test suite, though Derby has sub-suites that run only parts of the suites.

Forgot to add this.  Section 4.1 of BUILDING.txt says


  clobber: remove all built objects except jars. You should run
           this target if you have source code upgrade or
           you changed the source code and you are getting
           some errors.

Every time I do a svn update it's a source code upgrade and I should do a clobber.  One concern I have is that because of this many developers will not want to deal with a source code upgrade and their local svn tree will get stale. 

  

Derby build should be incremental

         Key: DERBY-190
         URL: http://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/DERBY-190
     Project: Derby
        Type: Improvement
  Components: Build tools
    Versions: 10.0.2.2
    Reporter: David Van Couvering
    

You should not have to clobber and rebuild from scratch each time you update or modify your source.  This is time-consuming and affects overall productivity.
