Robert Scholte commented on MRELEASE-271:
-----------------------------------------
[~jglick] could you attach a zip with only the pom.xml-files in the right
folder structure and the stacktrace?
https://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/maven/release/trunk/maven-release-plugin/src/it/projects/prepare/regular-multi-module
is an example of an IT which does work. Custom extensions might indeed be the
cause.
> perform goal sometimes fails with multi-module projects
> -------------------------------------------------------
>
> Key: MRELEASE-271
> URL: https://jira.codehaus.org/browse/MRELEASE-271
> Project: Maven Release Plugin
> Issue Type: Bug
> Components: prepare
> Affects Versions: 2.0-beta-4, 2.0-beta-6
> Environment: XP
> Reporter: David Hoffer
> Attachments: MavenReleaseFailure.zip, release.zip,
> SuccessfulReleaseBuild.txt
>
>
> We have a multi-module maven project that has recently started failing in the
> release:perform goal.
> We have just added a couple more modules but do not know if that is the cause
> of the failure. It seems that the release:perform fails to compile the
> source after the SCM tag and checkout. The failure says that it cannot find
> a dependent jar but it is that jar that it is supposed to be building and
> releasing! I updated to use the latest 2.0-beta-6 release plugin version but
> this did not help.
> Upon receiving feedback in the maven users group that others have seen this
> behavior I followed their advise and added <configuration>
> <preparationGoals>clean install</preparationGoals></configuration> to my
> parent pom which did fix the problem.
> Why is the release goal failing now? When do I and when do I not need these
> changes to my pom? I will attach pom and build logs in hopes this can be
> fixed soon, let me know if you need additional information.
