Regarding Jenkins Distributed build Vs Maven Parallel build

[Foyzul Hassan]

Hi,

For our research work we need to build large open source projects and in that regard we are planning to have distributed Jenkins build system. But I found that maven is already providing parallel build support. So, we thinking about advantage of Jenkins Distributed build over maven parallel build.

Can you please clarify the advantage of Jenkins Distributed build over maven parallel build as for distributed build there are some infrastructure cost for distributed build?


Thanks & Regard,

Hi All,

Seems that Maven automatically partitions source code and perform parallel processing software building and testing. Here is the reference link:

But for Jenkins whether this automatically partition the source code and build them in distributed manner? Please clarify the issue.
