Drew, I must thank you for this help as it did work. I also feel that I should share the findings with the group. Somehow, both of these commands did not work for me ( to skip tests ). mvn -Darguments="-DskipTests=true" release:prepare ... mvn -Darguments="-Dmaven.test.skip" release:prepare ...
But this one did work : mvn -DpreparationGoals="clean compile" release:prepare ... Apart from this, there was one more thing related to Heap Size Error that I experienced while building the release. I had to export _JAVA_OPTIONS="-Xmx1g" to get rid of the Heap Size Error. Setting JAVA_OPTS did not help. I don't know why. I will update the "How To Release" page with these.

This certainly looks like the way to do it. However, the tests have already executed. Will use it if the upload fails again.
