Here's one example:

https://ci-builds.apache.org/job/Maven/job/maven-box/job/maven-dependency-plugin/job/null/

There are many others. Nothing changed between the three runs. First
Windows JDK 15 failed. Then Windows JDK 7 failed. Then they all
passed. No code changes were made between the runs. If there's a way
to see the logs from the failed runs, it's far from obvious to me.

Flaky build infrastructure is dangerous because it teaches developers
to ignore the CI.
