> When maven try to resolve dependency relationship, it will create many
> instances of dependency / artifact, even the dependency/artifact content is
> totally same, but just in different pom models. It cost huge memory if there
> is a parent pom with dependencyManagement which managed a lot of
> dependencies, and this parent pom are implemented by many project libraries.
> (libraries_count * managedDependency_count) dependency instances will be
> created. For example, if there are 3000 libraries, and all the library
> introduce same parent pom which managed 3000 dependencies version. There will
> be 3000*3000 =9,000,000 dependency instances will be created. But most of
> them are same, in fact, we only need one instance for each dependency in
> parent pom (3000 dependency instances).
>
> I'm from eBay, and here is a real case in enterprise level project. We have
> about 3000 business domain libraries, there are dependency relationship
> between them. We need to build all libraries in one release to keep all the
> libraries in same release are based on same code. So we used a parent pom as
> a central management to manage all the version for a release, and introduced
> by those libraries. As below picture, when the release start, it will
> calculate and start with the library which doesn't depend on others, then
> start the library which dependency libraries are already built. Keep this
> process until all libraries are built.
> With current maven resolve logic, it costs huge memory in above ways to built
> libraries. And even the libraries have been released, if the project which
> contains a lot of above libraries, it also cost huge memory when building
> project.
> So current now, we have to specify version in each library pom files instead
> of using parent pom. We think we can make some enhancement for this case.

> Here is a thread dump when building a real project which depends on about
> 1000 above libraries. The top 5 objects are all related to
> org.eclipse.aether.graph.Dependency.
