Measure Your Maven Build

Slow builds are annoying!

There, I’ve said it. And you know it’s true, don’t you? They take valuable time, they are a source of frustration, they extend the feedback cycle, and often they provide the perfect excuse for slacking off.

But it doesn’t have to be this way! Rather than getting another cup of coffee or playing that medieval game of gladiator, what if we would investigate why the build is so slow? If we know the bottlenecks, we can address them. That would shorten the feedback loop, increasing our productivity and our job happiness in one go.
