Review Comment:
Uploaded a diagram to explain how the dependency resolution works.

In a Maven build:
- DependencyCollector focus on resolve dependency graph by downloading and
parsing metadata.xml and pom.xmls which is running in sequence as of now.
- MojoExecutor calls ensureDependencyResolved which download jars in
parallel based on the dependency graph calculated by DependencyCollector.
Using the former (fully unitize get <List, List>) in DependencyCollector
seems not possible, I think we need to use a separate thread pool for
dependency resolution in DependencyCollector which includes 2 steps:
- Resolve version range (which resort to VersionRangeResolver ->
MetadataResolver -> RepositoryConnector)
- Resolve descriptor (download or pick local poms and then parse poms, which
resort to ArtifactDescriptorReader -> ArtifactResolver -> RepositoryConnector)
By running the above 2 steps in a separate thread pool can achieve better
parallelism.
Like the MetadataResolver, it is also using a separate ThreadPool to
download metadata.xml one by one from multiple repositories.
May I know any concerns that we should not use another thread pool for
dependency resolution here?
