Tommy originally said "- You are forced to have a SNAPSHOT version even if you have no use for such." So I believe that the release plugin is failing because he doesn't have a -SNAPSHOT in his pom. The release plugin checks that your artifact has a -SNAPSHOT version before it starts the workflow. If there is no -SNAPSHOT it assumes the artifact is already released and so stops. As others have already said, if that is not your workflow you need to do the stuff manually instead. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: users-unsubscr...@maven.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: users-h...@maven.apache.org
