Jason van Zyl created MNG-5589: ---------------------------------- Summary: Investigate how plugin classloaders are shutdown Key: MNG-5589 URL: https://jira.codehaus.org/browse/MNG-5589 Project: Maven 2 & 3 Issue Type: Improvement Affects Versions: 3.2.1 Reporter: Jason van Zyl
http://www.mail-archive.com/dev@maven.apache.org/msg99645.html Stuart's analysis of the above thread: I suspect this is related to the change in Classworlds 2.4.1+ to use the new ClassLoader.close() method available in Java7 to forcibly close plugin ClassLoaders when the plugin/container realm is disposed. This happens after the Maven build is finished, but before JVM shutdown hooks run. Any plugin that registers a JVM shutdown hook which tries to load classes/resources from the original plugin realm will throw a NCDFE - you'll probably see similar issues if a plugin forks threads that are still running after the plugin/container realm has been disposed and subsequently try to load classes. ( note that the same error will likely occur with Maven 3.1.1 since it uses the same version of Classworlds ) -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v6.1.6#6162)
