Stephen Connolly commented on MRELEASE-239:
-------------------------------------------
Actually, just I'll re-open this bug rather than open a new one
> release:perform and release:prepare should accept multi-line
> goals/preparationGoals configurations
> --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
>
> Key: MRELEASE-239
> URL: https://jira.codehaus.org/browse/MRELEASE-239
> Project: Maven 2.x Release Plugin
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Components: prepare
> Affects Versions: 2.0-beta-6
> Reporter: Steve Rowe
> Assignee: Stephen Connolly
> Priority: Minor
> Fix For: 2.2.1
>
> Attachments: ForkedMavenExecutor.patch
>
>
> When I specify a list of goals in my POM that span multiple lines (see an
> example below), only those goals before the newline are executed when I run
> "mvn release:perform".
> I have only noticed this for release:perform, but given what the code looks
> like, I assume it's an issue for release:prepare too.
> This is a minor problem, but an irritating one, because release:peform claims
> to successfully complete without actually executing all specified goals.
> I attach a patch to ForkedMavenExecutor.java that splits the goals list on
> newlines and carriage returns, in addition to the comma and space split
> characters that were there already.
> Here's an example configuration that will trigger the problem:
> <plugin>
> <artifactId>maven-release-plugin</artifactId>
> <configuration>
> ...
> <goals>
> package group:first-goal group:second-goal group:third-goal
> site-deploy changes:announcement-generate
> changes:announcement-mail
> </goals>
> </configuration>
> </plugin>
