Hi, I am still having problems with release:perform.
I have tried to follow the source code, and this is what I think release:perform does: 1. It checks out a version of a project, based on the values in release.properties, which was created in release:prepare stage. This version is checked out to target/checkout. 2. Uses 'org.codehaus.plexus.util.cli.Commandline' (I can't get the source code) to the run the M2 executable. This M2 runs the plugin defined by the 'goals' parameter (the default is 'deploy'). When I run release:perform (after a succesful release:prepare), step (1) works okay, ie. it checks out the project to target/checkout. Then, it seems to fail at step(2), with this error (just a snippet): [INFO] [release:perform] [INFO] Checking out the project to perform the release ... Usage: java [-options] class [args...] (to execute a class) or java [-options] -jar jarfile [args...] (to execute a jar file) So, it seems to me the second M2 that runs the 'goals' isn't working properly. Has anyone had same experience? (I am running on a Win2000 workstation) Some things that look odd to me in the source code are: - It tries to run m2, but on a Windows box shouldn't that be: m2.bat. - The default goal is 'deploy', but shouldn't that be 'deploy:deploy'.
