URL resolver timeout

[Pavel Krupets <pk...@palmtreebusiness.com>]

Hello,

Couldn't find anything about timeouts in documentation, so:

Would be nice to have URL resolvers timeout property. Maven2 sometimes gets
tooooo slow.
Thank you!

With regards,
Pavel Krupets

Be warned, Its really hard to get good timeouts working in all cases. 
Things like java5 proxy support stuff makes things worse; adds delays to 
URL() constructors while reverse DNS lookups of the proxy server take 
place.  RMI is even worse: you can only tune the timeout for 
constructing a socket if you haven't disabled the fallback-to-HTTP option.

I'm +1 for robust code here, but dont want to point the blame at the 
Maven team, not when they have to deal with  the team who wrote java.net 
and its socket API. I tried to get the proxy code on Ant1.7 working 
better for Java5 and had to back off as it broke things dramatically 
(things like IBM JREs and Oracle JDBC connections). Whoever maintains 
that code does it from a well managed network, not on a laptop that 
roams to cafes, offices and homes with different network connections in 
every location.

Indeed. Could you open an issue in JIRA to keep track of your request?
