[jbosstools-dev] Possibly critical issue with forge or m2e

[Rob Stryker]

Hey all:

A user found a strange bug while using astools and publishing a zipped 
project. The bug is basically that truezip ( a library we use) can't 
initialize because it can't find a class. It can't find the class 
because the thread's classloader is from plexus classrealms, and not the 
standard eclipse classloader that we'd expect.

So basically, either forge or m2e is changing a worker's classloader, 
and not putting it back. This (if true) could be a critical issue, since 
that thread / worker will probably never have the proper classloader 
again for the workspace session.

I encourage anyone with access to m2e or forge to look into this and 
verify their respective codebases are behaving properly with regards to 
classloaders. Feel free to look at the jira and ask any for more details 
or any questions you might have that might help in tracking this down.
