Speed up your Maven development

A regular Maven execution looks something like:
mvn test package
Executing
mvn test package -T 8 --offline 
instead, should significantly reduce the execution time.

-T 8 
In this case 8 is the number of threads of your CPU. Intel i7 CPUs have 8 threads.

--offline
This flag tells Maven to work in offline mode. So you can spare the time consuming HTTP requests.

Tuning ext4 for performance with emphasis on SSD usage

The obligatory disclaimer: The more performance you gain, the more data integrity you loose! But if you want to tune something like a file system, I strongly assume that you know what you are doing :) These tips apply to all major Linux distributions like Fedora/Red Hat, OpenSUSE, and Ubuntu that are already using ext4 or are going to make ext4 their default file system. As write operations on Solid State Disks (SSD) are expensive the tips below are focused on SSD usage but also apply to HDD usage as well . My Ubuntu 9.04 Jaunty /etc/fstab after a fresh installation: [...] UUID=d818ddf9-ff01-e21a-a67d-3ceab43a9e2b / ext4 relatime,errors=remount-ro 0 1 UUID=0d339122-74e0-e0ea-805a-7879b1fa3172 /home ext4 relatime 0 2 [...] My tuned Ubuntu 9.04 Jaunty /etc/fstab : [...] UUID=d818ddf9-ff01-e21a-a67d-3ceab43a9e2b / ext4 noatime,barrier=0,nobh,commit=100,nouser_xattr 0 1 UUID=0d339122-74e0-e0ea-805a-7879b1fa3172 /home ext4 noatime,barrier=0,data=writeback,nobh,commit=100,nouser_xattr 0 2...
