That's a good point. I assume the release plugin should be able to be excluded from the dependency checks. I'll make that change.

It looks like a catch-22 to test this.

If I update the plugin configuration so I use the 2.0-beta-4-SNAPSHOT
version of the release plugin, release:prepare fails because I depend on
a snapshot version of a plugin.

If I change the version number to "2.0-beta-4-20060509.101136-3" (or
"2.0-beta-4-20060509.101136"), the plugin can't be found.

What I ended up doing was to hack my local repository to move the
SNAPSHOT version into a non-SNAPSHOT directory.  I would assume I am
still doing something wrong here, but at least I can test it now.  I'll
send along my comments in a few minutes after I do a couple releases.

Sorry again. We recently were able to set up a snapshot repository at Apache and I hadn't updated the docs. Done now. It's at:

http://svn.apache.org/maven-snapshot-repository

Cheers,

OK, I am probably doing something wrong.

I go to the "Guide to Testing Development Versions of Plugins" page
and
click on the link to development versions (I am already suspicious
because it is at codehaus rather than apache).  I navigate to
org/apache/maven/plugins/maven-release-plugin/2.0-beta-4-SNAPSHOT but
the only version I find is ...-20051110.054127-1.

Does this plugin require different instructions then what is
documented
in the guide?

Sorry, it's:

2.0-beta-4-20060509.101136-3

(the subject line is incorrect)

Is there a snapshot to use (if so, what is the URL?) or do I need to

No, that's not a typo.

I'd like to vote to release the release plugin. It has been
completely
rewritten since you last met it and now has over 250 unit tests
covering
everything. Nearly all of the JIRA issues have been closed - a select

few were deferred to a 2.0 release. I'm working on a small set of
docs
right now, which I expect will be elaborated on for the 2.0 release.

I've used it several times over the last few days and it seems to be going well.

[ ] +1
[ ] +0
[ ] -1

Thanks,
Brett
