Release databasechangeloglock via liquibase api

[mwflipper]

Hello,
I have a problem, that the lock in databasechangeloglock table was not release, so I got the error “Waiting for changelog lock…” when I try to start liquibase.
In other threads I found the solution to delete the entry in the database. This is not possible in my use case, because our customer may have a derby database or we have no access to the customer database.
Does an possibilty exist to release such an lock via the liquibase api?
Thanks a lot

If you have a reference to the liquibase.Liquibase object, there is a forceReleaseLocks() method on there. 

Will that work for you, or what API are you working with?

Would it be safe to call this method after an abort situation?

[nvoxland]

Yes, it should be safe anytime.

Thanks, this worked ok for stale locks.
