Thomas Baldauf commented on MRELEASE-750:
-----------------------------------------
Hi Robert,
I checked out the current 2.3-SNAPSHOT from
http://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/maven, patched it and deployed a version
2.3-beta1 to our company repository (because release builds will only run
without snapshot dependencies - even plugins, as you might know). That's why I
obfuscated the version number, it would have been misleading otherwise. I'm not
sure if I can reproduce the problem with a small project. The issue occurred
with parent-module-layouted projects, where some modules have a vast amount of
dependencies. Unfortunately, I couldn't figure out what exactly caused the
problem.
However, checking the endIndex as proposed fixes everything - our builds are
running smoothly now :-)
I will create and submit the patch as described. Maybe I can also find a way to
reproduce the problem, but we're quite busy at the moment and time is scarce.
Thank you,
Thomas
