scmCommentPrefix can't be the empty string when specified in the xml --------------------------------------------------------------------
Key: MRELEASE-686 URL: https://jira.codehaus.org/browse/MRELEASE-686 Project: Maven 2.x Release Plugin Issue Type: Bug Components: prepare Affects Versions: 2.1 Environment: linux, git Reporter: Tresi Arvizo Priority: Minor The release plugin ignores the scmCommentPrefix parameter when it is set to the empty string in the xml. It will silently revert back to the default "[maven-release-plugin]". Manually specifying -DscmCommentPrefix="" on the "mvn release:prepare" command line does the right thing, however. This is using scm:git with a local repo and <pushChanges>false</pushChanges>, if that matters. ... <plugin> <groupId>org.apache.maven.plugins</groupId> <artifactId>maven-release-plugin</artifactId> <version>2.1</version> <configuration> <!-- silently ignored --> <scmCommentPrefix /> <!-- also silently ignored --> <scmCommentPrefix></scmCommentPrefix> </configuration> </plugin> -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA.
