Hi I've recently switched to using OS X. Our project that builds fine on Windows displays some rather odd behaviour. When maven closes down (after a BUILD FAILURE) message, the machine slows down. Observing the process in activity monitor shows that the number of java threads leaps from about 10, to about 250, all of which appear to be trying to delete something (I'm less sure of this as I'm new to reading the inspection output).
This means effectively the machine freezes for about 5 minutes whilst the threadcount steadily goes down... This is maven 2.0.7 on OS X's java 1.5.0_07-164. Any ideas?
