NullPointer when Releasing without <configuration> node in the 
maven-release-plugin
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------

                 Key: CONTINUUM-1527
                 URL: http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/CONTINUUM-1527
             Project: Continuum
          Issue Type: Bug
          Components: Release
    Affects Versions: 1.1-beta-3
            Reporter: Yudong Wang


If a pom file contains following, which is correct:
<plugin>
    <groupId>org.apache.maven.plugins</groupId>
    <artifactId>maven-release-plugin</artifactId>
</plugin>

In the web ui, choose prepare release, this will cause NullPointerException at:
org.apache.maven.continuum.web.action.ReleasePrepareAction.getReleasePluginParameters(ReleasePrepareAction.java:142)
                if ( plugin.getGroupId() != null && plugin.getGroupId().equals( 
"org.apache.maven.plugins" ) &&
                    plugin.getArtifactId() != null && 
plugin.getArtifactId().equals( "maven-release-plugin" ) )
                {
                    Xpp3Dom dom = (Xpp3Dom) plugin.getConfiguration();

line 142                    Xpp3Dom configuration = dom.getChild( 
"releaseLabel" );

Cause:
Since the plugin defines no <configuration> node, plugin.getConfiguration() 
returns null

Workaround:
add empty <configuration>, for example:
                        <plugin>
                        <groupId>org.apache.maven.plugins</groupId>
                        <artifactId>maven-release-plugin</artifactId>
                                <configuration>
                                <!-- empty configuration node when we have 
nothing to configure, this is needed due a bug in continuum 1.1-beta-3 -->
                        </configuration>                        
                </plugin>
