Khai Do closed MRELEASE-681. ---------------------------- Resolution: Cannot Reproduce Fix Version/s: 2.1 I think i understand what happened. I ran into this problem because, by default, maven-2.2.1 uses the maven-release-plugin-2.0-beta-8 vesion of the plugin. The fix to this problem occurred in beta-9 so it makes sense. Isn't maven supposed to use the latest version of the plugin if it's not specified in the pom file? Anyways, I could not reproduce after specifically adding the release plugin to my pom and telling it to use the the maven-release-plugin-2.1 version. Sorry for the inconvenience. > maven throws a java.lang.NullPointerException at the end of a release:perform > ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- > > Key: MRELEASE-681 > URL: http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/MRELEASE-681 > Project: Maven 2.x Release Plugin > Issue Type: Bug > Components: perform > Affects Versions: 2.2 > Environment: maven 2.2.1, java 1.6_23 on windows 7 64 bit > Reporter: Khai Do > Priority: Minor > Fix For: 2.1 > > Attachments: maven-log.txt > > > I'm getting java.lang.NullPointerException when building when i reference > maven-release-plugin in my pom.xml, It doesn't seem to matter which version > of the plugin i reference. i'm using maven 2.2.1, java 1.6_23 on windows 7 64 > bit.
