Maven 3 parallel builds profile

Question

Is there a way to configure parallel build in Maven 3 without adding any command line options (e.g. configure a profile in settings.xml)?

Answer 1

You can create an alias for your shell to do it

alias mvn='mvn -T4'

Answer 2

Not from the maven documentation on parallel builds.
