Hi again,

I've filed the issue https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/IVY-1454
The exception indeed appears to occur due to our specific use of
the parallel task, in conjunction with the antcallback task from 
ant-contrib.

Thanks,
Carsten

Hi Charles,

thanks a lot for your investigation -- I'm gathering some more information 

about the problem
and submit them to JIRA. The is a trunk build from 
https://builds.apache.org/job/Ivy/446/ and
unfortunately, we're not using symlinks to the caches and have multiple 
cache configurations :-}

I'll send a notice with the issue number when I've got all the details.

Thanks,
Carsten

Howdy --

I've spent a few minutes analyzing the logic in the code in question.

tryLock is documented to throw that exception only when the other instance
of the lock is held by the same process, rather than by out-of-process 
code.

The current code intends to avoid that situation by use of a synchronized
block in acquireLock(); tryLock() is only called within that block. Since
the concrete lock strategy classes' instances should be singletons, that
block should prevent multiple tryLock() invocations inside a process.

Unfortunately, the practice appears to differ from that theory, but even
so, a few conclusions can be drawn:

- The issue in question should be specific to use of <parallel>, not to
multiple uses of ivy from unrelated JVM processes.
- The underlying issue extends beyond the NIO locker -- I wouldn't trust
either of Ivy's file-locking mechanisms to be safe if the intended
synchronization guarantee by acquireLock() is invalid.
- If there's any chance you could have multiple definitions of the same
cache in your configuration, particularly with different filenames
referring to the same files (as with symlinks), that would make this much
less of a puzzle. :)

Could you confirm that you can reproduce this on a trunk build of Ivy? 
(NIO
locking was very, very broken prior to the merge of IVY-1424).

To come closer to a proper fix, I'll need to put together a reproducer.
Have you filed a JIRA ticket for this (on
https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/IVY), or would you like me to do so
on your behalf?

Thanks!
