Hi,

I'd like to change the<repository>   in each top level pom to nexus so that on 
release, all releases will go directly to staging by default.
Agent1 already has an account in the staging repository from my last release so 
this should just work.

WDYT?

+1 for using staging but not to change the target repo. We need to be able to 
go from staging to target.
The canonical way is to use mvn release:stage.

I don't know if it's as much canonical as it is the way that maven offers.
Nexus has a user interface which allows you to promote a release out of staging 
with just a few clicks.
I think maven's release:stage was designed with the assumption that most people 
don't have this luxury.

My concern with leaving a live repository in the pom file is that it seems to 
be just asking for an accident
where everything gets pushed to the live server and has to be weeded out 
manually. I would like to avoid this if at all possible.
I want to minimize the risk and the best way I know to do that is to not let 
maven know where scp://maven.xwiki is.

I think that the POMs shouldn't know about staging repositories, since those aren't 
supposed to be "public". Personally I'd go for changing the release script so 
that it uses release:stage -DstagingRepository=http://nexus.xwiki.org...

Plus, the POM doesn't have support for specifying staging repositories

It has. It's a parameter called "stagingRepository" (see 
http://maven.apache.org/plugins/maven-release-plugin/usage.html).

I meant inside the <repositories> element, as a kind of repository besides "releases" and "snapshots". The "stagingRepository" is a parameter used only by the release:stage goal. Caleb was proposing to change the URL of the repositories as they are configured in the POM.

, just releases and snapshots, and it would be wrong to change the pom so that the "releases" 
repository, which most of the time is supposed to be used as a read-only location from which dependencies 
can be downloaded, would point to an upload-only URL that will fail when trying to download dependencies 
from it. The<repository>  element is "a place to collect and store artifacts".

Yes that's true, good point: External tools could read that info from our 
released pom.xml and it should point to the final location, I agree…


I think the root pom is broken now, since the releases repository is supposed to be readable, while the current repository URL (http://nexus.xwiki.org/nexus/service/local/staging/deploy/maven2/) requires authentication, and even when logged in it will display an error when trying to read it.
