Description Antonin Nebuzelsky 2005-02-21 15:54:05 UTC 
In performance survey a user was asking for
paralelized compilation of projects:

"I need to parallize the compiling. I have many
independent libraries that are not interdependent
and could be compiled in parralle. All libraries
are of the netbeans lib project type. Can you
change the ant scripts so that they can be
parralized ? on my linux 3 GHZ pentium the
compiling never excededs 50% of the CPU."
Comment 1 Jesse Glick 2005-03-11 23:51:21 UTC 
There are way too many possible problems that can be introduced by
parallelization to make it default behavior. Users who know they want this (who
know their SMP machine can do better) and who know there are not going to be any
tricky effects, can use Ant's normal <parallel> task (override the 'deps-jar'
target to use it).
