I just committed an update to plexus-classworlds that permits concurrent classloading under jdk7.
I would really appreciate it if anyone would care to review this patch, especially regarding thread safety (esp the use of guards to access the protected methods of the base classes, which is where the likely stuff might be). It's also possible to test this locally by building the snapshot version from github and replacing the plexus-classworlds-*.jar file in the "lib" folder of your maven installation. You probably want to be running with the -T option for a meaningful test. Dont expect significant gains until I am able to re-consider the synchronization in maven core regarding plugin construction, since that's pretty heavily synchronized atm. This is in the famous pipeline, and this patch is step 1. So if anyone wants to study the details of the new jdk7 class loaders and do a review at the same time, the commit can be found here: https://github.com/sonatype/plexus-classworlds/commit/bc9583c4883b07adf9806b8323691aa5085c023e --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [email protected] For additional commands, e-mail: [email protected]
