"Processing Maven resources" needlessly slows me down

Hi

Whenever I run a test or a Java application in my IDE, I am always forced to wait 20 or 30 seconds for "Processing Maven resources...", even when nothing has changed in my project.  In times of intense dev/test activity this is a real drag on my time!
Does anyone know what is going on and how I can stop it?  I have tried toggling Maven on-/off-line (under Maven Projects), but it seems to make no difference.

Thanks for any pointers  :-)

PS I am running IDEA 10 (see graphic) on Mac OS X 10.6.6

When you import a maven process, you can choose what maven phase will get run before build, you can probably set it to nothing.  The default is process-resources, which is causing your slowdown.

I really wish maven had a flag to not copy the files if they are not newer...

(well, there is http://maven.apache.org/plugins/maven-resources-plugin/resources-mojo.html#overwrite, but it doesn't seem to work for me)

The point probably is this is a performance regression in 102.149 - working on a pure junit test is a royal pain now. IDEA didn't need this 30 secs delays before.

Thanks Gustavo - can you steer me towards the settings you mean?  I have had a look, but nothing quite seems to match your description..  presumably it is connected to the Make or Build settings?

Could you please create a YouTrack issue and attach a CPU snapshot?

Thanks,

I guess this is solved in IDEA 11.1.2 http://youtrack.jetbrains.com/issue/IDEA-84484 ?

I'm still seeing this in IU-117.912 and I also am not sure where I can rachet this down for maven?

I managed to solve this once I figured out what it was doing (which wasn't obvious...)

I had built a structure of directories in the 'resources' folder in which I had placed some very large files.  What was happening was that these files would be copied into the 'target' directory every time I built the project.  The solution?  Put the large files somewhere else!

Hope this helps  :-)

That helped me almost 7 years afterwards. I have probably misunderstood what should/could be placed into the resources folder of the Maven structure.
Now I only have few input files there and the large amount of output (wasn't that large in size, but it was 60000 files) goes to a different folder outside src.
