Hi,
I was thinking about how to speed up the build time of application compilation for the maven build. Currently as part of the build, I take the closure library and expand it to the current modules target directory, which is taking quite some time (and when cleaning up). I was thinking about ways to do this differently (for example expanding it to a temp directory once and referencing it wherever I need it in the build). Then I thought about it that the closure guys don't expand the resources, but directly use the resources from the jar. It should be possible for us to do the same. I guess this expansion requirement is a relic from the times where the flexjs compiler required to have the js files in an expanded form. Would it be possible to change the closure compilation part to use the closure lib as a jar and not a directory? I guess this would speed up compilation dramatically as accessing resources from a jar in the classpath is way faster than accessing them from the filesystem individually. Chris
