> The repository servlet tests (e.g. RepositoryServletProxiedRelocatedTest) fail on Windows due to a bug in a Maven class (MavenXpp3Reader) that Archiva is using. The bug is that MavenXpp3Reader does not close the Reader after reading the content of a POM. Thus the file is left open until the MavenXpp3Reader instance is garbage collected. Since the garbage collector is run whenever the JVM feels like it, the problem is intermittent rather than being consistent.
> Although the root of the problem is with Maven's MavenXpp3Reader class, there is a simple workaround that can be applied to the Archiva code. That is to close the reader explicitly, after the POM content has been read. This will not cause a problem when the Maven bug is fixed, since closing an already-closed Reader is a no-op.
> Patch attached.
