B4J Question B4Xlibs inner workings

[alwaysbusy]

These are just some questions out of curiosity, as I'm investigating using b4xlibs for BANano:

1. I see that a project now contains a folder b4xlibs. Is this a temporary folder used for compilation?

2. Are the b4xlibs re-compiled every time one does a project compilation? I'm just thinking speed wise here as some libraries have potentially hundreds of classes with code that (most of the time) will never change. At One Two, we have some projects that are very big in itself, so every bit of pre-compiling helps.

1. Yes. The files from the library's Files folder are copied there.
2. There are some optimizations (more will be added in the future), this is indeed an issue that you need to test. It is very simple to test as all you need to do is zip the modules and add the library to a project.
