Android maven plugin - Takes a long time build on every save of a file

I tried to mavenize my android project using maven-android-plugin but every time I try saving any file it takes a long time to build (bu开发者_运维技巧ild automatically) and another quick save, eclipse does not allow me to edit until the entire compilation completes. The only explicit goal I have specified is generate-sources (I have some AIDLs). But it is frustrating to sit and wait for more than half a minute every time I save for compilation to finish.

The one project that is actually generating the final apk alone takes 1 min 7 seconds (without running tests) to build from command line and there is no way that is good considering I have fairly small number of classes in that project.

Is there someway I can quicken this process?

Since building with Maven consists of several phases, you can manipulate your build time with proper setup. You can find the detailed description of the whole process here:

Maven build process

With this, you can specifically define your build process and shorten the build times considerably (for example, by turning off tests).
