Summary: release:branch does not create release.properties so release:perform fails Key: MRELEASE-971 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/MRELEASE-971 Project: Maven Release Plugin Issue Type: Bug Components: branch, perform Affects Versions: 2.5.3 Reporter: Carsten Hilber I am using the release plugin to release through a CI server. What I do is creat a branch with mvn release:branch --batch-mode -DbranchName=0.1.11 -Dproject.net.aim:releaseTest=0.1.11 -Dproject.net.aim:releaseTest=0.1.12-SNAPSHOT -DupdateBranchVersions=true A branch is created and the current dev branch is getting to the next SNAPSHOT Version, so far so good. To complete the version I need to do the next step. I want to do a release:perform to release the newly created branch. This fails with the following error message: $ mvn release:perform [INFO] Scanning for projects...
