Description

**[kevin leo](https://issues.apache.org/jira/secure/ViewProfile.jspa?name=crackme)** opened **[MRELEASE-1067](https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/MRELEASE-1067?redirect=false)** and commented

In the phase of run-preparation-goals,  it will run clean & verify, which includes compile.

When it comes to release, the plugin will checkout the source code to a different path (target/checkout) , then deploy the jar.

Because of different source path and target,mvn cannot use the previous compiled classes.  It's ok for small project, but will be time-consuming for large project.

Although we can customize the checkout directory, but the plugin will delete the content if it already exists.

Is there any workaround from suffering compiling twice?

Research direction

Start by tracing the release:preform phase and its run-preparation-goals, paying attention to the target/checkout path described in the issue. Determine how the release plugin handles compiled classes across the initial checkout and release checkout. Done means the recompilation concern has a documented or implemented resolution without changing the release behavior unexpectedly.
