John Sipher commented on MINVOKER-104:
--------------------------------------
I understand the point about the recommended practice, but...
The proposed fix - adding maven-metadata-local.xml.lock - seems pretty simple.
Why not go ahead and fix it and save people like me the trouble of researching
the problem and figuring out a workaround?
I think there are probably a lot of Maven users like me that just want to use
the tool without making a career out of understanding all the ins and outs.
That's possible because great tools like Maven "will run with sensible
defaults" (see http://maven.apache.org/run-maven/index.html#Quick_Start for
quote). In this case Maven doesn't run (at least not reliably) with the default
behavior, and I'm using up a good chunk of my Sunday trying to figure out a
workaround that won't break something else.
