[jira] [Comment Edited] (SLING-2668) EntityResourceList.compact() fails to remove resource from list, causes infinite loop

    [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SLING-2668?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=13498106#comment-13498106 ]

I just checked the source, and there is also EntityResourceList#remove. We should:
- remove this method completely
- remove the remove method in PersistentResourceList which calls the above remove method
- and change the usage from  this.persistentList.remove(rr); to                         this.persistentList.remove(rr.getURL());
  in OsgiInstallerImpl#511

We didn't have problems with this method yet, however it exposes the same potential problem as compact(). Removing using the url is using a different approach

> EntityResourceList.compact() calls resources.remove(RegisteredResource) and that can fail in some cases, as the stored RegisteredResource might have changed since they were added to the SortedSet, which apparently trips the set's searching algorithm.
> This can cause an infinite loop in the installer, as cleanupInstallableResources() returning true triggers a new installer cycle.
> We should use a more robust method to remove resources, and check that they are actually removed.
