I have found some addiitonal examples of people having this trouble, but no real solutions yet.
http://stackoverflow.com/questions/5558785/maven-release-plugin-git-and-the-poms-not-at-the-top http://maven-users.828.n2.nabble.com/release-perform-with-pom-xml-in-relative-path-of-SCM-repository-td6340959.html I have tried specifying the name of my POM file using -DpomFileName=Development/pom.xml, but no success. It doesn't even seem that release:perform is even acknowledging this setting. If I was using SVN as my scm, I could specify the /Development directory as my checkout source. This would result in the pom.xml appearing in the root. However, I use git which I don't think I can specify a subdirectory in my git project for checkout. At least not using the SCM configuration in Maven. -- View this message in context: http://maven.40175.n5.nabble.com/Release-plugin-when-POM-is-not-in-root-directory-tp4956364p4958980.html Sent from the Maven - Users mailing list archive at Nabble.com. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: users-unsubscr...@maven.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: users-h...@maven.apache.org
