Marcin Kuthan commented on MRELEASE-271: ---------------------------------------- I read blog post http://www.sonatype.com/people/2010/12/whats-in-maven-3-0-for-users/, and Benjamin said that Maven 3.x is not affected by this bug. I removed {code} <preparationGoals>clean install</preparationGoals> {code} from my pom, and perform release with Maven 3.0.2. And build failed :-( {code} [ERROR] Failed to execute goal org.apache.maven.plugins:maven-site-plugin:3.0-beta-3:site (default-site) on project modular-war-parent: failed to get Reports: Failed to execute goal on project modular-war-webapp: Could not resolve dependencies for project com.googlecode.m4enterprise:modular-war-webapp:war:0.0.11: Could not find artifact com.googlecode.m4enterprise:modular-war-core:jar:0.0.11 in roche-releases-new {code} Perhaps it is a bug in the site plugin not in the Maven core, but I still have to use clean install as release preparation goals. ---- Marcin m4enterprise.googlecode.com ---- > perform goal sometimes fails with multi-module projects > ------------------------------------------------------- > > Key: MRELEASE-271 > URL: http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/MRELEASE-271 > Project: Maven 2.x Release Plugin > Issue Type: Bug > Components: prepare > Affects Versions: 2.0-beta-4, 2.0-beta-6 > Environment: XP > Reporter: David Hoffer > Attachments: MavenReleaseFailure.zip, release.zip, > SuccessfulReleaseBuild.txt > > > We have a multi-module maven project that has recently started failing in the > release:perform goal. > We have just added a couple more modules but do not know if that is the cause > of the failure. It seems that the release:perform fails to compile the > source after the SCM tag and checkout. The failure says that it cannot find > a dependent jar but it is that jar that it is supposed to be building and > releasing! I updated to use the latest 2.0-beta-6 release plugin version but > this did not help. > Upon receiving feedback in the maven users group that others have seen this > behavior I followed their advise and added <configuration> > <preparationGoals>clean install</preparationGoals></configuration> to my > parent pom which did fix the problem. > Why is the release goal failing now? When do I and when do I not need these > changes to my pom? I will attach pom and build logs in hopes this can be > fixed soon, let me know if you need additional information. > -Dave -- 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
