OOM with maven-archetype-plugin 3.4.1 + java 25

[lalmeras]

Affected version

3.4.1

Bug description

archetype:create-from-project may trigger OOM / java heap space error when used with java 25, where the same setup with java 17 is fine. This is not a near-the-max-threshold issue. It may be needed to double Xmx (1500m -> 3000m) to get rid of the OOM.

Memory threshold to trigger the issue may vary between environment (for my use-case, CI triggers with Xmx1500m, and my desktop needed a limit as low as 700m to trigger the same issue).

Error is triggered during maven-archetype-plugin:jar goal.

From my investigation, it seems caused by this plexus-archiver issue codehaus-plexus/plexus-archiver#399. Affected versions are plexus-archiver 4.10.1-4.10.3.

It is fixed with codehaus-plexus/plexus-archiver#408 (4.10.4).

Others encounter the same problem : related issue on maven-archiver -> apache/maven-archiver#334

The current 3.4.2-SNAPSHOT fixes the issue, as it updates plexus-archiver dependency (4.11.0).

Is there a maven-archetype-plugin's release planned ?

[lalmeras]

I tried to fix the issue by overriding maven-archetype-plugin dependencies in my pom.xml ; it is not possible as the archetype:jar goal is launched from a sub-maven command (InvocationRequest) with a generated pom.xml (type=archetype-packaging).

So my pom.xml plugins/pluginManagement customization are ignored and I cannot override the plexus-archiver version.
