------------------------------------------
Can you please post some of the compilation failures? Do they occur w/o the
lock?
> Provide a global locking sync context by default

> This is an umbrella ticket for a long standing issue with Maven Resolver: Our
> concurrency support is mediocre in a way that if two or more threads try to
> download the same file and fail to queue those write actions nicely. The
> problem is that The {{SyncContext}} and the its factory provided by Maven
> Resolver does not employ any locking at all. As layed out in detail in
> MRESOLVER-114 we need striped read write locks on artifacts and its metadata.
> This issue shall track progress on it. Even Takari Concurrent Repository
> extension does not help because it is only intended to synchronize concurrent
> access by multple JVMs and not threads.
> This improvement will provide solely a global locking sync context which will
> work in *single* JVM. It is a non-goal to make it work with mulitple JVMs. A
> downside of this solution is that is coarse, possible degregation of
> performance for the sake of stability.
