I don't understand why release:prepare fails if you depend on a plugin snapshot. That makes no sense. You should not depend on snapshots for compile/test/runtime dependencies but plugins are a build-time dependency and so should have no affect on a release. Once something is released, it is never built again.

The project doesn't depend on a plugin from within the <dependencies> section of the pom. I had to add this <plugin> <groupId>org.apache.maven.plugins</groupId> <artifactId>maven-war-plugin</artifactId> <version>2.0-beta-3-SNAPSHOT</version> </plugin> in the <build><plugins> to make m2 use the right version of the maven-war-plugin. Without that, it will use the released version which doesn't have the overlaying feature which I need. Rich Mike Perham wrote: > Why is your project depending on a plugin???
