Description

Ran mvn clean install on a local checkout of Archiva Parent project:

• LDAP, clean local repo and clean proxy repo: ~1hr
• LDAP, clean local repo and populated proxy repo: ~30mins
• database, clean local repo and clean proxy repo: 9mins
• database, clean local repo and populated proxy repo: 20s

I removed any Repository Observer role access for the guest account btw, so all artifact requests go through authentication.

When configured with LDAP, the build hanged at times and I had to cancel it. I noticed this happens when there's a problem connecting to the LDAP server. I saw the following error in the Archiva logs:
