Versionless Extension causes NullPointerException in release:prepare --------------------------------------------------------------------
Key: MRELEASE-122 URL: http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/MRELEASE-122 Project: Maven 2.x Release Plugin Type: Bug Versions: 2.0-beta-4 Reporter: Stefan Hübner I'm getting a NullPointerException when invoking "mvn release:prepare -DdryRun=true" (don't know, if the dryRun-parameter makes any difference). See the stack trace below. My POM does make use of the wagon-ssh-extension, but without declaring a certain version of that extension - which is not necessary, as far as I know. A workaround to this is to declare a version to the extension.
