Can version increase check be done earlier

[vogella]

Tycho provides the very useful check to check if a version must be increased.

AFAICS the version increase check is done after the compile and test steps. This leads to longer verification build times. Would it be possible to move this check before the compile and test phase? For example, for eclipse-pde/eclipse.pde#155 I always had to wait ~ 40 min to see if another version needs an increase.

How should this be performed if nothing is there to compare? :-)

An sustainable part of the build time is target resolution and test execution but not compilation. You could improve build times by enable maven parallel builds considerable.
