[jira] Commented: (MNG-4996) Maven3 parallel build fails occasionally for classpath problems.

Arne.Reinhardt commented on MNG-4996:
-------------------------------------

I observed a similar behaviour in a build containing some 140 modules.
The build made heavy use of the antrun plugin to trigger custom generators and I observed two kinds of effects:
* java tasks executed via antrun did not find their main class
* compiles did not find any libraries

These effects appeared rather randomly revealing the kinds of broken classpaths described by Kari (classpath containing only the module's output directory).

Now I seem to have resolved the problem by supplying explicit versions of both the maven-ejb-plugin and the maven-source-plugin (which had been forgotten before).
The astonishing thing about this is that I had defined *exactly* those (threadsafe) versions of the plugins which in the broken builds maven had figured out to use by itself. Moreover I observed that the modules whose builds had been broken by the missing versions did not have to use these plugins (at least not both of them, but I think they always used at least the maven-source-plugin).
And it appears thet the effect cannot be reproduced by simply leaving off *one* of the versions. I need to remove both version numbers to see the build broken (but maybe this simply increases the probability).

So my impression is that not the usage of a non-threadsafe plugin causes the problem but rather the absence of version definitions.

At least my build seems stable now ;)
