+ There are several things that you can do to accelerate this. First,
+ you should delete the plugins that you don't use. Some plugins are
+ platform-specific, so you can safely delete those that are not
+ intended to run on your platform.
+ <b>
+ Some plugins depend on other plugins. Please delete plugins with care.
+ </b>
+ Once you are sure that you have all the plugins that you need, you
+ can use the <a href="plugins/console/index.html">Console Plugin</a> to
+ get an interactive shell that will let load Maven once and run as many
+ goals as you want. On average machines it takes something like
+ ten seconds to compile and run unit tests, so that you can build often
+ and test your code often.
