Christoph Kutzinski commented on MRELEASE-415: ---------------------------------------------- We had an unusable release because of that and it took us roughly 1 day to find out the reason for this. Given that there is a patch which fixes the problem, could someone please apply it? > Plugin fails to activate profiles in submodules. > ------------------------------------------------ > > Key: MRELEASE-415 > URL: http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/MRELEASE-415 > Project: Maven 2.x Release Plugin > Issue Type: Bug > Components: perform > Affects Versions: 2.0-beta-8 > Environment: Fedora8, Sun Java 1.6.0_07, Maven 2.0.9 > Reporter: David C. Hicks > Attachments: AbstractReleaseMojo.patch > > > (I hope this is not a duplicate. I searched JIRA but didn't find anything > that looked like one.) > In a multi-module project, profiles that are activated only for sub-modules > (not the parent project) are omitted from execution during release:perform. > In my specific case, I have a large, multi-module project in which one of the > sub-modules is there to create an assembly during release. Since I only want > it to run during release, I've placed that into a profile in the sub-module's > pom.xml. When I run release:perform, I activate the profile. However, the > profile is never executed. > Workaround: By adding a dummy profile to the parent pom.xml, I was able to > get release:perform to operate as desired. > I'm afraid I don't have an example to upload, at this time. If I can find > the time, I'll try to create one and come back to upload it. -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA. - If you think it was sent incorrectly contact one of the administrators: http://jira.codehaus.org/secure/Administrators.jspa - For more information on JIRA, see: http://www.atlassian.com/software/jira
