I have a MathJax library next to my source files in one of my projects, which I build with Maven to get the WAR file for deployment. The problem is that the library has several thousand files which take forever to package.
After the inclusion of this library the build time went from less than a minute to more than 8 minutes. I've tried reducing the library as much as possible, but since I am using the library in a different way than most people, the usual "what more to reduce" tips cannot be applied and I need to keep the library mostly as is and where it is.
Is there some trick on Maven's side how to package such high number of small files, please?
