release:prepare doesn't fail when the project it is building fails to compile
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Key: MRELEASE-270
URL: http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/MRELEASE-270
Project: Maven 2.x Release Plugin
Issue Type: Bug
Affects Versions: 2.0-beta-6
Reporter: William Ferguson
Attachments: MRELEASE-XXX.zip
Unusual situation on our build server, where one of the dependent libraries had
been corrupted in its local repository.
'mvn compile' would fail with compilation errors - it couldn't find the classes
from the corrupt jar.
'mvn release:prepare' would note compilation errors and indicate build failure,
but would continue on with the release, modify the POMs, tag the source and
finally complete indicating success.
I noted that the same thing can happen if uncompilable source is checked in,
though at least then you would get the compilation failure on your local
machine too.
I think release:prepare should clearly fail (it wasn't clear in this instance
unless you scrolled back through the build output) if any part of the
release:prepare fails.
To replicate either
a) Attempt top release uncompilable code.
b) Replace a dependent jar with a renamed text file and attempt to release.
