Just tried again by adding the following -Darguments="-s <path to my settings.xml file>"
Does not seem to work, apparently this is caught explicitly by the release plugin, see the warning message. So this seems to be part of the release plugin to prevent that you customize the build. I can understand, because one of the requirements is probably that you must be able to rebuild the jar, with exactly the same parameters. Is preventing an alternate user settings files the best solution? What if the settings.xml file changes (default maven settings.xml)? Maybe I should contact the developers of this plugin, to get a better understanding of it.
