Description:

The "reserve-network-port" feature is very appealing, but also misleading: it does no "reserve" ports but just creates properties from ports which were free at some time.

Between time where port was retrieved, and time where port is actually opens, it may have been used by some other processes (launched from Maven or not). This happens a lot in our builds, which run on a server used for many other things (where lots of ports may be opened).

MBUILDHELPER-48 tries to address this issue with some "blocking" approach, but it does not avoid issues with ports opened outside the plugin.

I think another (complementary) strategy could be available, based on a configuration of a range of ports.

Since OS define a range of ephemeral ports to provide (usually 32768 to 61000 on Linux), user could define in plugin configuration a range outside the OS range.
