[MANTTASKS-213] <artifact:dependencies> spawns non-daemon thread

• Type: Bug
• Status: Closed
• Priority: Major
• Resolution: Won't Fix
• Affects Version/s: 2.1.1
• Component/s: dependencies task
• Environment: Ubuntu, JDK 6 (but apparently also Vista); originally filed as: https://netbeans.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=189868#c5

Description

When <artifact:dependencies> is run, DefaultArtifactResolver creates a thread pool using non-daemon threads. Thus live threads are left in the thread group after the task supposedly finishes. This can cause problems in containers such as NetBeans.

The fix MNG-4738 is already in Maven 3.0; you just need to use Maven 3 in the task's dependencies, rather than 2.2.1 as now.
