"Incremental java compilation is an incubating feature." takes too long for every cordova build Process

10,994

I had this issue and the solution made me feel silly - this is the step in the build process when the prompt for the key's password opens up. The prompt opened on another monitor and I thought build had frozen. The prompt looks like this

    Every time I build a Cordova project, the build process is stuck for about 8 minutes.
    The last line in the log when this happens is : Incremental java compilation is an incubating feature.

    Has anybody seen this happen before?

    I'm using Visual Studio 2015 and am running on Windows 10 build 14393.10.

    my question is why the build proccess takes too long?

    Update:

    here is the build logs:
