Hi Julian, Don't know the cause exactly, but looks like the maven-release-plugin 2.1 might be incompatible with your maven version. What's your maven version (`mvn -v`)? Also, maven-release-plugin 2.1 is a bit older version. [1] So, could you try with the latest version like the following instead?
$ mvn org.apache.maven.plugins:maven-release-plugin:2.5.3:prepare (We can specify the full qualified name instead. e.g. mvn org.apache.maven.plugins:maven-release-plugin:2.5.3:perform) Regards, Woonsan [1] http://maven.apache.org/maven-release/maven-release-plugin/usage.html On Wed, Jul 6, 2016 at 8:47 AM, Julian Reschke <[email protected]> wrote: > On 2016-07-06 14:11, Julian Reschke wrote: >> >> On 2016-07-04 17:37, Julian Reschke wrote: >>> >>> Hi, >>> >>> we'll need to cut Jackrabbit 2.13.0 in the next few days. >>> >>> >>> There are currently two unresolved issues; can we re-schedule them? >>> >>> https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/JCR-3913 >>> >>> https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/JCR-3944 >>> >>> Also, I'm looking for a volunteer for the release, or alternatively for >>> somebody who would be available for hand holding (back when I releases >>> the last time a long time ago, I had to struggle with Cygwin/Windows >>> issues). >>> >>> Best regards, Julian >> >> >> OK, I have now postponed both issues to 2.13.1. >> >> Best regards, Julian > > > Ok, for now I'm stuck at the release:prepare step, which gives the following > error: > >> [ERROR] Failed to execute goal >> org.apache.maven.plugins:maven-release-plugin:2.1 >> :prepare (default-cli) on project jackrabbit: Execution default-cli of >> goal org. >> apache.maven.plugins:maven-release-plugin:2.1:prepare failed: An API >> incompatibi >> lity was encountered while executing >> org.apache.maven.plugins:maven-release-plug >> in:2.1:prepare: java.lang.NoSuchMethodError: >> org.apache.maven.settings.Settings. >> getRuntimeInfo()Lorg/apache/maven/settings/RuntimeInfo; > > > Any ideas what's wrong? > > Best regards, Julian
