[rdf4j-dev] Build time

[Håvard Ottestad <hmottestad@xxxxxxxxx>]

Hi everyone!

I disabled forking in the maven compiler plugin and suddenly our build time has gone down from 5-6 minutes to 1-2 minutes in our automated tests on GitHub. Building is also considerably faster on my local machine. 

I honestly didn’t think it would make this much difference. I don’t actually know how the forking works, but if it forks a new JVM for every maven subproject then it could make sense that the overhead from ramp up would account for the performance difference. 

Does anyone know if I’m missing something important and that I need to re-enable forking?

Cheers,
Håvard
