Since then I've learned more on using that combination as well as there has been new releases of the release plugin as well as the scm parts. So, it works on any branch, not just the main branch. (However, you cannot make a branch.) As long as the view you're using is set up correctly, things will work with the release plugin.

If the file is stored as $user.home/.scm/clearcase-settings.xml it should be picked up. Are you sure it is in the right location (for the right user)? Execute Maven in debug mode (-X) and possibly you could get more info. According to the doc, you could put the file in $maven.home/conf/clearcase-settings.xml as well. You could try that to get something working. Here's the doc that's available: http://maven.apache.org/scm/clearcase.html /Anders
