Hey,
when you have tried to build RHQ and run all the tests you probably have seen
that this may take a huge amount of time, which is fine for the first build, but
later when you e.g. change a typo in the as4-plugin, you don't want GWT being
compiled again.
I have written a blog post to get feedback and ideas on this:

If you have idea, please share them here and/or as comments to the post.
Thanks
Heiko
P.S.: We also need to fix some other issues
- for whatever reason, a change in server/jar recompiles all 700 source files
- some modules build stuff in the non-test phases that are only needed for tests
