Maven Bundle Plugin slowing down the maven build

Category: , , — Bambitroll @ 10:04
If you are working with OSGi, you are surely using the Maven Bundle Plugin to create your MANIFEST file and jar bundles.

After a while, it can happen that your maven build it getting slower than it should be.
In my case, the "Writing OBR metadata" part of the maven build was clearly to blame.
And this is because it is parsing and updating a file called repository.xml, which gets really big with time.

Solution:
mv ~/.m2/repository/repository.xml ~/.m2/repository/repository.xml.old
