Android\Java Maven skip build module if no changes

Question

I have a few modules in my project

When i execute

mvn clean install

it will be rebuild all my modules and it will be a long long time.( I know - it was because i execute a clean goal)

What the goal i need to execute or set a PROPERTY in pom.xml (maybe) to say maven do not compile(skip or getting existing SNAPSHOT) module if was no file (no changes) in this module.

@SpaceTrucker after few hours of googling i say you not right, because **clean goal just clean output directory**. — Sergey Shustikov, Jan 28 '15 at 15:14

Your build is probably taking a long time because of the tests, not compilation. See this question.

An easy way of speeding up your build is to skip tests.

You can also try advanced reactor options to select which module you want to build.

Supposedly efforts are underway to make Maven do real incremental builds.
