It means what I described in the previous message (and is still quoted
here):
with "-Prelease" it picks the key name and asks for the passphrase and loops
infinitely saying that the passphrase is wrong (cf. quote above). If I
didn't specify "-Prelease", it is stuck indefinitely (cf. quote below).

I have created a "release" profile in my own "settings.xml".

I don't know how to do that. Before trying to prepare that release I didn't
have a "settings.xml" file. What is in there was copied from the document
"UsingNexus".
But it seems that is not sufficient to make a release, hence the document is
not suitable for a release process newbie like me.

It works because I've deduced that everytime I need the key, I must add
"-Prelease" on command line.
If there is another way, one cannot deduce it from the snippets in
"UsingNexus".

No, it doesn't.
