Matthew Ouyang commented on MCLEAN-78:
--------------------------------------

[~cowwoc] The ability to configure unlimited retries might be a better solution fit for your situation. What do you think? I also wonder what the project team thinks of this proposal.

>                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/MCLEAN-78
>             Project: Maven Clean Plugin
>          Issue Type: Improvement
>    Affects Versions: 3.0.0
>         Environment: Windows 10, 64-bit, build 10.0.14393

> Following up on MCLEAN-45, I am running into a problem where a build fails to clean 100% of the time. The existing retry mechanism sleeps roughly 1 second, which makes it impossible to investigate what is actually holding the lock. I already went through the obvious culprits by disabling Windows Indexing and anti-virus, to no avail. I can reproduce the problem on two separate machines as well. I am afraid that Maven itself might be holding the lock.
> I order to aid troubleshooting of this scenario, can you please add or enhance the existing configuration options so that the clean plugin can retry longer (e.g. up to 30 seconds)?
> Worse-case scenario, the lock will eventually get released and my build will work. Best-case scenario, the lock won't get released but I will finally have enough time to run SysInternals ProcessMonitor to figure out who is holding the lock. When I try doing this after the JVM shuts down, I don't find anyone holding the lock so I strongly suspect the JVM itself is at fault.
> Proposal: let users specify a max retry time and generate the intermediate sleep intervals on their behalf. I would happily use retry intervals of up to a minute if it meant that my automated builds would be more stable.
