Hi,

I am new to Maven, I created a project using the Wicket quickstart
archetype. I am on Ubuntu 9.10.
I could not get mvn release:perform to run and I suspect the cause might be
the release plugin.

mvn war:war works fine. And there is a web.xml in src/main/webapp/WEB-INF/

mvn release:perform -X yields

[INFO] [INFO] Error assembling WAR: webxml attribute is required (or
pre-existing WEB-INF/web.xml if executing in update mode)

I googled the error and tried changing the release-war configuration.
However, it seems that the war plugin part of the pom.xml is ignored when
calling mvn release:perform

Notice "webapp sources directory does not exist - skipping." even though it
exists and works with mvn war:war

When I call mvn war:war, I see all changes I make, such as choosing a
different war plugin version, or changing the webXml or failOnMissingWebXml,
but mvn release:perform always uses version 2.1-beta-1 and always the same
configs, regardless of the pom.

I tried with release plugin 2.0-beta-9 and 2.0-beta-8.

The reason I blame the release plugin and not the war plugin is that when I
try  mvn war:war -X with war plugin 2.1-beta-1, it works fine, the pom
configs are read and the web.xml is found and copied.
