We have 32 GWT permutations the moment, we used to have only 4... Some last changes caused this increase... We need to be more cautious about updating GWT client code. I tried ant clean dist-server compile-gwt test It took me about 16 minutes. If you tried the default target which also includes running tests then it could take about 6 minutes more. So max 21 minutes on 2-core laptop. This is for the full prod build, if you run the server from compiled source with dev GWT setting(only 2 permutations) then it takes only a few minutes, or even less.
Basically running wave is simple like: git clone git://git.apache.org/wave.git wave cd wave cp server.config.example server.config ant dist-server compile-gwt run-server Open the browser at http://localhost:9898 On Wed, Dec 4, 2013 at 9:40 PM, Ali Lown <a...@lown.me.uk> wrote: > > "BUILD SUCCESSFUL > > Total time: 312 minutes 41 seconds" > > Err.. it takes ~5 minutes on my dev machine!
