Maven takes a long time on every new build because it downloads all the dependencies to cache. If you aren't a regular Java developer, and you pull a simple GitHub project and build it, it might need download the dependencies, source code, and docs (if the build is configured as such). The next time you run, it will be cached and finish quickly. No different than one of your first npm installs .
