John Sipher commented on MINVOKER-104: -------------------------------------- I understand the point about the recommended practice, but... The proposed fix - adding maven-metadata-local.xml.lock - seems pretty simple. Why not go ahead and fix it and save people like me the trouble of researching the problem and figuring out a workaround? I think there are probably a lot of Maven users like me that just want to use the tool without making a career out of understanding all the ins and outs. That's possible because great tools like Maven "will run with sensible defaults" (see http://maven.apache.org/run-maven/index.html#Quick_Start for quote). In this case Maven doesn't run (at least not reliably) with the default behavior, and I'm using up a good chunk of my Sunday trying to figure out a workaround that won't break something else. > Error installing artifact's metadata > ------------------------------------ > > Key: MINVOKER-104 > URL: http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/MINVOKER-104 > Project: Maven 2.x Invoker Plugin > Issue Type: Bug > Reporter: Geoff Simpson > Priority: Critical > Attachments: minstall-54-error-install-artifact.patch > > > Error installing artifact's metadata: Error installing metadata: Error > updating group repository metadata > end tag not allowed in epilog but got / (position: END_TAG seen ...\n > Looks like there might be an issue with updates to maven-metadata-local.xml > during the mvn install task. we have a build server that is multi threaded. > we often see this in the > </versioning> > </metadata> > </metadata> > maven-metadata-local.xml. > maybe a solution is to add maven-metadata-local.xml.lock to ensure two > threads don't update the file at the same time -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA. - If you think it was sent incorrectly contact one of the administrators: http://jira.codehaus.org/secure/Administrators.jspa - For more information on JIRA, see: http://www.atlassian.com/software/jira
