I think there is, but you might need to invoke maven directly. I've never bothered--as long as I don't clean between build attempts, it seems to catch up to where it was quickly enough. If there's one bit of code you're iterating over, you can always cd to where that source is and 'mvn compile' it until you're ready for a full build. Hope that helps, Greg [1] https://maven.apache.org/plugins/maven-checkstyle-plugin/usage.html
