Hi Robert,

I'm not 100% sure if this will fix the issue.

There are 2 issues which both result in an ArrayIndexOutOfBoundsException.

One has to do with a process instruction inside the plugin configuration (fixed).

You mean the m2e configuration thing like "<?m2e ...>"...

This is fixed ,cause this will fail in all Maven versions if you use a parent which contains such configuration...Tested with the current master of plexus-utils it works fine...


But if we have a new release of plexus-utils we could at least tell people in such cases to replace the plexus-utils to prevent this issue...


The other has to do with invalid XML.

Ok this is a different story...



It looks to me that most of the time the second issue is being hit.


Clearing the local repository and re-downloading the pom file is the cure. (this is actually the best way to identify which of the 2 is being hit)

What I've seen is that sometime the content of the pom is duplicated, i.e.
<project>
...
</project>
<project>
...
</project>

I could imagine that this happens when a 2 threads download the same pom at the same time and for some reason are appended.

From the same Maven run ? Or by using two different maven runs which use the same local cache ?




Up until Maven 3.3.9 the XML stopped at the closing root-tag, not at the document-end.

Maybe I misunderstand a thing but isn't the reading of the XML file done by plexus-utils?


When the pom is not a valid XML, then IMHO the pom should be re-downloaded.

There are now a couple of issues:
- you cannot see which pom is causing the ArrayIndexOutOfBoundsException
- you cannot simply switch to strict checksums at system level. You cannot use MAVEN_OPTS in this case because --strict-checksum is a Maven argument, not a JVM argument.

Couldn't checkSum policy being used in settings.xml to configured to fail ?


Kind regards

These issues need to be fixed in Maven.

So I would go for improving this in Maven, just updating plexus-utils will give users false hope.

Maybe we don't need to make the release of plexus-utils very prominent ;-)

Kind regards

thanks,
Robert

Hi,

based on the current issue related to reading pom files etc. (ArrayIndexOutOfBoundsException)

I would like to make a new release of Plexus-Utils 3.1.0.....after that people can simple replace the old version of plexus-utils-3.0.24 in their maven installation with the new one until we made a new release of Maven Core ....

If there are no objections I would like to start with the release at Tuesday ?

Kind regards
Karl Heinz Marbaise
