Mike, Well, the first 10 or so times that I tried to do "mvn release:perform", the nifi-parent and nifi-nar-maven-plugin worked fine. For the nifi application release, release:perform failed because it was attempting to "batch upload" artifacts to some snapshot repository that I don't have permissions for.
I don't know if it's a feature of the maven release plugin or something in the apache parent pom that I don't understand maybe? But when I named the branch "nifi-0.1.0-incubating" and then named the SCM tag "nifi-0.1.0-incubating-rc1" or "-rc2" or what have you, that happened. Eventually, after many failures I found that if I name the branch "release-nifi-0.1.0-incubating" instead, all was okay. I have no idea what the naming of the git branch and the SCM tag have to do with each other (or it's possible that there's something else going on that i don't understand at all), but I just kept incrementing the RC number each time the build failed.
