Description Laurent Goubet CLA 2010-09-30 03:13:28 EDT 
Currently, the build process of Acceleo is 
- find all MTL files
- iterate over this list
- for each MTL file, find each dependency
- build each dependency (and its own dependencies) and the MTL file

This means that :
- we'll compile more than once a good number of modules
- we cannot multi-thread the building process

The building process as a whole should be improved so that we can avoid the redundant builds. Maybe we could have a "lite" builder which sole purpose will be to parse the "extends" and "imports" clauses of the modules to determine a dependency graph, then the "real" builder which will compile the modules in dependency order?
Comment 1 Stephane Begaudeau CLA 2011-09-26 03:56:30 EDT 
Several key improvements have been realized in the compilation of Acceleo modules in order to massively lower the compilation time. Those improvements are available in Acceleo 3.2.0
