Description
problem
Whole build process needs to be enabled to build incrementally.
Currently, Gradle builds are not completely incremental due to the fact the static binding generator can't adopt incremental changes. If a javascript file is modified, for instance, Gradle should be able to delete and replace the newly generated Java file. The Same logic applies for deleting and adding new files.
solution
Make the static binding generator able to apply incremental changes.
- deleting files
- adding new files
- modifying files = delete old + add new
This will enable us to use the full potential of the Gradle incremental build.
Contributor guide
First steps
- Read the whole issue, then the project's contributing guide.
- Comment on the issue to say you are picking it up — it saves two people doing the same work.
- Fork the repository and make your change on a branch.
- Open a pull request that references the issue number.
Research direction
Start by locating the static binding generator and its Gradle build integration. Trace how generated Java files correspond to added, modified, and deleted JavaScript files; done means all three changes are reflected incrementally without a full rebuild.
