Unfortunately for the coherence of this discussion, it was months and months ago that I filed the original version of this JIRA. The best I can lay my mental fingers on is this: for a large project, signing and such can take a very long time, making it very slow and frustrating to work through a set of problems. I was having a very hard time debugging problems in release:prepare, and the addition of the profile just added to my confusion.
That all being written, if my first encounter with the parent had been documentation that explained what it was doing and why, I would never have filed the JIRA in the first place. Which is why I already wrote, and Olivier already committed, the explanatory material that I offered to write to save others from the confusion I encountered when I first used this parent. So if you all revert this change, honestly, no more squeaks from me. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: dev-unsubscr...@maven.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: dev-h...@maven.apache.org
