Release plugin issues with custom plugin

[Kurt Zettel]

I developed a plugin and integration tested it using using Maven 3.  One of
the things it provides is a custom packaging type and an artifact handler
for the packaging type.  It also has its own lifecycle.  I can build and
deploy projects using the plugin without any problems. I am having an odd
problem when I try to use the Maven release plugin on a multi-module build.
 The install of the root pom is failing because of missing dependencies.  It
is telling me I have missing artifacts but the missing artifacts are part of
the multi-module build.  I am using version 2.0-beta-9 of the release plugin
(which worked fine with Maven 2.2.1) but it is giving me problems with Maven
3.0 alpha 6.  Any advice on where to look in the code to fix this problem?

Thank you,
