Parallel Builds in Eclipse IDE Workspaces
summary
Eclipse Platform 4.8 adds workspace-level parallel builds implemented at the lowest workspace layer so any compliant builder benefits without extra wiring. Dependency graphs, graph scheduling and Eclipse resource locks control what can run concurrently. In practice JDT and other projects show dramatic wins — one case runs six projects in ~6 seconds instead of ~36 seconds (roughly 6x), others report about one third the previous time when builders follow resource and scheduling best practices.
