I just got my first two maven2 projects to release properly this morning. I am using the following plugin because I need to support starteam scm.
GroupId: org.apache.maven.plugins ArtifactId: maven-release-plugin Version: 2.0-beta-4-SNAPSHOT This beta plugin had two dependencies on snapshots that were not in public repositories: Plexus-compiler-manager-1.6-SNAPSHOT Plexus-compiler-javac-1.6-SNAPSHOT With these installed everything was fine and I was able to perform the release of two projects. I then tried to do the same for a third and I got build failures. However, this was about the same time that the apache.org web site went down. I now see that www.apache.org is back up but I cannot connect to svn.apache.org yet. In any case, I thought I should be able to use maven offline with the -o switch but here is what I fine. Mvn -o compile works fine Mvn -o release:prepare does not work it says that it is trying to download plexus-compiler-javac-1.6-SNAPSHOT.pom which it cannot do (I assume it is down). Why does it need to download anything? I just ran this goal against another project so everything should still be on my local system right? Plus I thought the -o was supposed to force this behavior. It seems that -o works for compile but now for release. Is it because I am dependent on a SNAPSHOT plugin for the release goal? I don't mind if I have to wait for svn.apache.org to come back up but at this point I don't really understand what the cause of the problem is. Any ideas? -dh --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
