NodeJS Maven Plugin: Node Download sometimes fails with EOFException

solved by switching to maven download mechanisms -

The reason is probably that the download has been interrupted, and the file can't be unpacked.
Please consider using the checksums available at the download site for verifying the downloaded archives, and retrying on failure:
