Mark,
I was looking into the problems with the GPG plugin when run from the release plugin and the problems seem to entirely be problems of the release plugin and Plexus utils. They are showing up in the gpg plugin, but any plugin that tries to do anything interactively would most likely run into the same problems. Issues: 1) System.in - the release manager doesn't feed anything from System.in into the forked process. I tried adding System.in to the CommandLineUtils.executeCommandLine call, but that just causes a hang. CommandLineUtils will wait until the "in" stream is completely consumed (returns -1) before returning. With System.in, that never will happen. 2) Buffered(line style) out - the StreamPumpers use BufferedInputStream.readLine() to pump from one stream to the other. This won't work. Anything that does something (like the release plugin itself) that prompts and then waits for a response on the same line will appear to just "hang" as the prompt will never make it to the screen. Basically, those two issues completely prevent us from being able to un-hard code GPG passphrases from build scripts and such. (unless you set gpg.useagent to true and use an agent) In anycase, MGPG-9 is really a release plugin bug although part of it is due to plexus-utils not providing the support it would need to work properly. Most likely, we'll need to add a method in CommandLineUtils that would just take the raw streams (in/out/err) and do straight byte copy reads without the line buffering. (and once the process completely, stop pumping the in stream) (of course, that would then require another plexus-utils release and then the release plugin would only work with Maven 2.0.6+ with the utils shaded, but that may be minor) I'll poke around more and see if I can come up with something.
