It looks like a catch-22 to test this. If I update the plugin configuration so I use the 2.0-beta-4-SNAPSHOT version of the release plugin, release:prepare fails because I depend on a snapshot version of a plugin.
If I change the version number to "2.0-beta-4-20060509.101136-3" (or "2.0-beta-4-20060509.101136"), the plugin can't be found. What I ended up doing was to hack my local repository to move the SNAPSHOT version into a non-SNAPSHOT directory. I would assume I am still doing something wrong here, but at least I can test it now. I'll send along my comments in a few minutes after I do a couple releases. -----Original Message----- From: Brett Porter [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Tuesday, May 09, 2006 08:03 To: Maven Developers List Subject: Re: [vote] Release Release plugin 2.0-beta-5 Sorry again. We recently were able to set up a snapshot repository at Apache and I hadn't updated the docs. Done now.
