build times unix/windows

[Troy Gould <tr...@dooyoo.co.uk>]

This sounds really odd, but it's taking way longer for ant to work on a
unix box versus a windows box.
Doing a javac with the same version of the jdk (1.3.1)  takes 19 seconds
on windows 2000 and 50 seconds on Unix.
I'm also doing a bunch of ejb-c for Weblogic 6.1 and these are also
taking signifigantly longer on Unix.
Anyone have any ideas?

Does javac just take longer on unix?

Subject: changing behaviour per OS type



I think it has become such a common help topic, that this subject
(Changing
behaviour per OS type) be addressed in the FAQ with an example now.

I don't know how to do it though, so I can't contribute. Sorry.

Anyone agree?  Even better, contribute a nice example, one for Ant 1.3,
and
another for Ant1.4.

Generally it takes a shorter amount of time because most unix filesystems are 
faster to access.

What is different between two systems? What unix are you building on? Is the 
unix running of a slower filesystem or a remote filesystem (ie NFS/SMB 
mounted or other?). Are you using equivelent JVMs etc.
