Of course explicit configuration is better, but it's been in the super
pom for a long time now.
It's been out of the Super POM for quite a while now.
I think all Brett is asking is "How are we
going to help people transition from 2.0 to 2.1?"
To use what's in our own project POM as a working example of a best
practice.
I agree that the release profile shouldn't be in the super pom, but
having it just disappear will be a shock. Is there any way to
"deprecate" this behavior in 2.0, maybe by printing a message when the
release profile is activated?
Sure, in subsequent versions of the release plugin you can put a
warning saying not to rely on the magic. We are not using it ourselves
anymore, it is explicit in our POMs and has been for the last few
releases.
I'm happily using the Continuum release functionality (but I think
it's the same code) and have used the release plugin for an Archiva
release. It works fine. (Yes, with Subversion.)
It's consistently crapped out for me with the last three releases of
Maven itself. I think the problem is that the bugs fixed are primarily
for Continuum and Archiva. I had to run it several times and then just
reverted to the beta-5 release to get it to work. I reported the
issues and had new ones with the 2.0.7 release, then had more where it
let me go all the way and then died on an SVN discrepancy. Brian
reported and fixed another critical one of late.
Are the issues you
mentioned with Perforce and Clearcase entered in JIRA?
