I couldn't tell you now because installing maven3 implied desinstalling
maven2.

This is the warning from maven3:

Maven version is also 3.0.4 here.

This seems to work (if this is where you expected it to fail); it produces:

I had read it, but didn't think it would work for the
  <gpg.passphrase></gpg.passphrase>
tag.

Anyway, I encrypted the pass phrase using

 $ mvn --encrypt-password "my pass phrase"

put the result in the above tag, and got:

It would have been good enough if it worked.
I must be missing some additional configuration...

I'm not that paranoid ;-). It is encrypted, and stored in
"settings-security.xml", only readable by me. And it serves only to run
maven.
It's just that storing the pass phrase of a general-purpose encrypting key,
in clear text does not seem right.


Thanks for any enlightenment as to what could cause this problem,
Gilles
