[Anthill-pro] Step-Execution only by changes

[Eric Minick]

Frederic,

If I understand the situation correctly, you have 30 sub-projects under 
a single top level project. It might make sense to actually configure 
this as 30 AnthillPro projects. Each would only be built when their were 
changes within it's space. You could let Anthill know when higher level 
projects should be rebuilt after lower level ones by using the 
dependency system to express the dependencies. You can skip the artifact 
resolution from the dependencies and let Maven handle that though.

Does that seem like a plausible approach? It would give you insight into 
which components were building and which were failing and no broken 
component would stop everyone else from working successfully.
