releaseProfiles works only if at least one (default) profile is activated in the same pom.xml ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Key: MRELEASE-614 URL: http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/MRELEASE-614 Project: Maven 2.x Release Plugin Issue Type: Bug Components: perform Affects Versions: 2.0 Environment: WindowsXP, Maven-2.2.1 Reporter: Torsten Reinhard related to MRELEASE-459 I decided to define an empty "dummy" profile, which is activated by default instead of passing -P... at the command line at mvn release:perform. I´ve put this into our company parent pom.xml, next to the release profile that might be enabled during mvn release:perform: <profiles> <!-- default profile is needed, because otherwise mvn release:perform will not activate the release profile --> <!-- see http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/MRELEASE-459 for details--> <profile> <id>dummy</id> <activation> <activeByDefault>true</activeByDefault> </activation> </profile> <profile> <id>release</id> <properties> <!-- could be used at mvn release:perform --> <!-- will set productVersion to the current (released)project.scm.tag --> <productVersion>${project.scm.tag}</productVersion> </properties> </profile> Than, in one child module I configured the maven-release-plugin as: <configuration> <workingDirectory>c:\LocalViewsRelease\${project.artifactId}-${project.version}</workingDirectory> <preparationGoals>clean install</preparationGoals> <releaseProfiles>release</releaseProfiles> </configuration> => this should activate the dummy profile (which is activated by default) and the release profile - but it does NOT ! [DEBUG] Executing: cmd.exe /X /C "C:\eap\apache-maven-2.2.1\bin\mvn.bat -X -D maven.repo.local=D:\mavenrepo -D performRelease=true deploy site-deploy" I could only get this to work copying the dummy profile again into the child pom.xml. [DEBUG] Executing: cmd.exe /X /C "C:\eap\apache-maven-2.2.1\bin\mvn.bat -X -D maven.repo.local=D:\mavenrepo -D performRelease=true -P dummy,release deploy site-deploy" The fix should: - fix MRELEASE-459 first, so no more default profile is needed to get releaseProfiles to work - fix the inheritance of (default) profiles during mvn release:perform -- 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
