Do I understand it correctly - it should be turned off to simplify release
process? Sounds Ok to me if that's the case.
Continuum is a nice-to-have but by no means a requirement for any release of
cocoon. The general idea, as i'm sure i don't have to explain, is only to
have something flag when someone checks in code that breaks the build.

At the time, Continuum seemed like an obvious choice for CI, mainly because
it was built by the maven developers and promised/claimed good integration
with m2. However now that we've learned the tricks and quirks of building an
m2 project i can honestly not say anymore if Continuum is the best tool for
the job ATM.
The problem with Continuum is that it doesn't build your project as a whole
anymore, but rather the modules in relative isolation. The fact that it
doesn't pick up pom changes and barfs when you do module refactoring (move,
adding, removing, changing name etc) makes it more of a nuisance than
anything else. A CI system is no good if you have to take care of it each
time you change the structure of your system.
I've heard good things about Hudson [1], which has a more traditional
approach in that it does a build from the top level (eg mvn clean install
from the root) each time. This is more time and resource consuming but ATM
more accurate for us. However its native m2 support is still in its infancy
[2].
It's the default of Continuum to build a modularized M2 project in
isolation (see build command in the Continuum Config Page). We build our
modularized M2 project as a hole and do not have the problem you
mentioned above. It is just a matter how you define your project in
Continuum.
