I have added the two elements to the pom (downloadSources and downloadJavadocs), the eclipse:eclipse goal does not run to completion and errors out after 6 minutes or so. It says there are "too many open files". I knew I had seen this error before and it is because there is a limit of total number of files a user/shell can open. I will have to manually increase the FD's for the system/user/shell .
Is there any fix for this apart from tweaking the linux kernel parameters i.e. could I tell maven to not open more than a certain number of files? -- Karan Singh Malhi
