Provide resiliency for MTA builds

[D074360]

Hi,

The build fails with network timeout or corrupted archive error and this happens inconsistently.

There are multiple issues concerning the same in node js:

• Troubles with downloading nodejs archives nodejs/nodejs.org#2720
• SLOW OR FAILED (500 ERROR) NODE.JS DOWNLOADS nodejs/build#1993

The workaround was to try out different node versions and even that did not work.

Could you please add retry mechanism when such error occur during MTA builds?

For reference I am adding the stack trace:

solution:
refer to https://cap.cloud.sap/docs/java/assets/cds-maven-plugin-site/install-node-mojo.html
there is a property in https://cap.cloud.sap/docs/java/assets/cds-maven-plugin-site/install-node-mojo.html#downloadretries .

MTA Build Tool does no provide the retry function . and there are some ways to implement retry with may maven plugins and other tools .
