Deploy should not fail if <distributionManagement> and <repository> does not exist when used with -DaltDeploymentRepository ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Key: MDEPLOY-115 URL: http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/MDEPLOY-115 Project: Maven 2.x Deploy Plugin Issue Type: Bug Components: deploy:deploy Affects Versions: 2.4 Reporter: Geoffrey De Smet I have a pom with no <distributionManagement> section. When I do: {code} mvn -DskipTests -DupdateReleaseInfo=true -DaltDeploymentRepository=ggg-deploy::default::scp://ggg/maven/maven2/deploy clean deploy {code} I get this error: {code} [INFO] Failed to configure plugin parameters for: org.apache.maven.plugins:maven-deploy-plugin:2.4 check that the following section of the pom.xml is present and correct: <distributionManagement> <!-- use the following if you're not using a snapshot version. --> <repository> <id>repo</id> <name>Repository Name</name> <url>scp://host/path/to/repo</url> </repository> <!-- use the following if you ARE using a snapshot version. --> <snapshotRepository> <id>repo</id> <name>Repository Name</name> <url>scp://host/path/to/repo</url> </snapshotRepository> </distributionManagement> Cause: Class 'org.apache.maven.artifact.repository.ArtifactRepository' cannot be instantiated {code} However, since I supply the altDeploymentRepository parameter, it shouldn't require that section in the pom.xml -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA. - If you think it was sent incorrectly contact one of the administrators: http://jira.codehaus.org/secure/Administrators.jspa - For more information on JIRA, see: http://www.atlassian.com/software/jira
