Right, first I wasn't sure if this would work as expected. Second, I was wondering about how to handle the text-input part of release:prepare, since Maven2 requires inputting a tag name and pre/post version numbers. I'm guessing I can pass those values as parameters but I don't know a good way to retrieve the maven2 version numbers, pass them back, increment, etc. > What do you mean by cleanup work area? "mvn release:prepare" leaves behind a file called "release.properties" which I wanted to make sure would be removed from the build work area no matter if release:prepare or release:perform fail. alex
