[ http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/MRELEASE-122?page=comments#action_83153 ] Tom Huybrechts commented on MRELEASE-122: -----------------------------------------
I have this one too - and not in an extension. In my dependencyManagement I have a declared a dependency to junit (with version off course) In my dependencies (in the same POM) I repeat this, without version. This causes the NPE. If I put a version in the dependencies section, I can release without problems. > Versionless Extension causes NullPointerException in release:prepare > -------------------------------------------------------------------- > > Key: MRELEASE-122 > URL: http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/MRELEASE-122 > Project: Maven 2.x Release Plugin > Issue Type: Bug > Affects Versions: 2.0-beta-5 > Reporter: Stefan Hübner > Assigned To: Jason van Zyl > Fix For: 2.0-beta-5 > > Attachments: patch.txt > > > I'm getting a NullPointerException when invoking "mvn release:prepare > -DdryRun=true" (don't know, if the dryRun-parameter makes any > difference).
