A selection of author’s favorite tricks to speed up Maven builds:

1. Mvnd a.k.a. Maven Daemon brings Classloader caching, parallel builds by default and improved terminal UI.
2. You always skipped mojos by -Dskip*, right? Well, there is an even faster way to skip mojos by removing them from the Maven execution plan altogether.
3. Incremental builds with GIB - rebuild and retest only the parts of the source tree impacted by a change.
4. Brute force: get a fast multicore machine with a lot of RAM.

All four tricks will be presented along with relevant numbers describing not only the time gains but also the costs and trade-offs.
