Hello,
Using Maven 2.2.1, release:perform seems to break in that it cannot find a dependency. I switch back to using Maven 2.0.9 and all is well. Simple example... Parent pom (1.0.0.0_b0-snapshot) | |-------- Child A (1.0.0.0_b0-snapshot) |-------- Child B (1.0.0.0_b0-snapshot) <-- has a dependency to child A 1.0.0.0_b0-snapshot With 2.0.9, can release b0 (mvn clean, release:prepare, release:perform on parent) and Child B is updated to depend on Child A 1.0.0.0_b0 and all is well - release is complete. When I update to Maven 2.2.1, Child A 1.0.0.0_b1 is "built" (it's in the target dir) but Child_B complains that it cannot find the dependency. I do have the pom locked down to use version 2.0 beta 7 of the release plugin so I'm going to try taking off that "lockdown" and see what I get with Maven 2.2.1. Anybody else experience release plugin problems of this nature with 2.2.x? Thanks! Randall
