Alexander Betaev commented on MRELEASE-707: ------------------------------------------- Forgot to mention that my project's structure is {noformat} \root \parent \pom.xml \module1 \pom.xml \module2 \pom.xml ... \moduleN \pom.xml {noformat} > release plugin does not use neither ${project.scm.connection} nor > ${project.scm.developerConnection} > ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- > > Key: MRELEASE-707 > URL: https://jira.codehaus.org/browse/MRELEASE-707 > Project: Maven 2.x Release Plugin > Issue Type: Improvement > Components: prepare > Affects Versions: 2.2.1 > Environment: ArchLinux > Maven 3.0.3 > Mercurial 1.9.1 > Reporter: Alexander Betaev > > Use case: I don't want to include <scm/> section in all my POM's since I want > to perform releases only using CI software. It seems for me to be more useful > configuration for distributed SCM's than using release plugins locally. > So I am providing '-Dproject.scm.connection=scm:hg:file://${basedir}/../' and > '-Dproject.scm.developerConnection=scm:hg:file://${basedir}/../' to Maven's > JVM. But it does not affect anything in maven-release-plugin. Also I did not > find any property which I should use instead of project.scm.connection. > The error message I receive looks like I forgot to configure maven-scm-plugin: > {noformat} > [ERROR] Failed to execute goal > org.apache.maven.plugins:maven-release-plugin:2.2.1:prepare (default-cli) on > project parent: Missing required setting: scm connection or > developerConnection must be specified. -> [Help 1] > {noformat} -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA.
