About

Jenesis is a Java-native build tool family that includes a module runner, launcher, module index, and artifact repository. It reduces full build times by about 18%, speeds incremental rebuilds by up to 88%, and cuts build time after editing a single method by 34%. By integrating tightly with Java modules and caching, it delivers faster builds without extra configuration.

The case

Who it is for

Java developers looking to reduce build times

What is broken today

Before Jenesis, Java developers often spent long hours waiting for full builds and incremental rebuilds, especially in large projects where even small changes triggered slow recompilations. This wasted time could be used for writing code, debugging, or reviewing changes.

What it does about it

Jenesis is a Java-native build tool that combines a module runner, launcher, module index, and artifact repository. It uses efficient incremental build strategies and tight integration with Java modules to reduce build times significantly.

Why not the obvious alternative

Unlike standard build tools that rely on external caching or complex configurations, Jenesis integrates a module index and artifact repository directly into the build process, providing up to 88% faster rebuilds when nothing has changed and a 34% reduction after editing a single method.
