Mark lesscss-maven-plugin as @threadSafe?

[chludwig-haufe]

Hi,

I typically build our project with the Maven option "-T 1.5C"; this reduces the build time (on my hardware) significantly. However, since we added the lesscss-maven-plugin to our build, I get a warning:

[WARNING] *****************************************************************

According to https://github.com/marceloverdijk/lesscss-java, lesscss-java itself is thread-safe. So is there any inherent reason why you cannot mark lesscss-maven-plugin as @threadSafe? Or can you please do so?

Thanks!

I would like to know this also.

I analyzed the code and I think it is thread safe. The plugin uses Rhino, which creates new JavaScript environment for every thread.

I wrote my own (https://github.com/gabrysbiz/lesscss-maven-plugin) which also uses Rhino library. I makred it as thread safe.

Ps. Marcel sorry for advertising my plugin on your site, but this plugin is not developed for a long time.
