OK but using -Prelease should override the deployment repository and when you do mvn help:effective-pom -Prelease everything looks good. Seems that something though is still picking up that dummy repository though and I'm guessing the -Darguments="-Prelease" that Torsten mentions here http://tinyurl.com/2h222s is perhaps something to do with that? But for me that causes the NPE in the surefire plugin!!!! Which looks like these: http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/SUREFIRE-314 http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/SUREFIRE-300 I even tried adding -Dmaven.test.skip=true but it still threw the NPE. So is there a way round to resolve this with the situation as it is or does it need a commons-parent release first to remove the dummy repo?
