Investigate yarn instead lf npm install

[eirslett]

The newest maven plugin (1.2) allows for using yarn instead of npm. Maybe it could speed up the build?

sounds testable. could someone with experience raise a PR? I assume yarn can still publish to npm repo right?

yarn has not happened since then, if specific issues are created against the current build system that yarn could solve, a switch may still happen but preferrably referencing those specific issues.

Until then, npm seems to be satisfactory for developing Lens.

@tacigar Do you normally use yarn or npm for development, e.g. at LINE? I always use yarn and while using npm here doesn't quite bother me, it does have some quirks for some of my workflows. If you and I are both more accustomed to yarn I think that's good reason to switch :) If not, will stick to npm.

if there's no strong opinions counter, yarn is also helpful for workflow consistency with zipkin-js. Some of us don't work in javascript too much, and it is helpful to have a consistent flow across our projects.

Thanks that sounds like a good reason too - will take care of it.
