The first time I attempt to do a release each day, maven checks for updates, and it stalls for about 6 minutes for each plugin:
[INFO] Searching repository for plugin with prefix: 'release'. [INFO] org.apache.maven.plugins: checking for updates from maven.proxy.radius <stall for 6 minutes> [INFO] Searching repository for plugin with prefix: 'release'. [INFO] org.codehaus.mojo: checking for updates from maven.proxy.radius <stall for 6 minutes> [INFO] org.codehaus.mojo: checking for updates from Maven Releases [INFO] artifact org.apache.maven.plugins:maven-release-plugin: checking for updates from maven.proxy.radius <stall for 6 minutes> [INFO] artifact org.apache.maven.plugins:maven-release-plugin: checking for updates from Maven Releases .... We have a remote maven repository set up with maven-proxy (maven.proxy.radius). Unfortunately, I didn't set it up so I'm having a hard time figuring out my problem The box I'm running maven from is able to reach maven.proxy.radius, and the plugins are there. If I run mvn with -o, it skips these steps, but I need it to be running online for other reasons. Any help is appreciated.
