Robert Scholte commented on MRELEASE-750:
-----------------------------------------
Hi Thomas,
the effected version can't be 2.3, because it hasn't been released yet. You
anonymized the log a bit too much, because it the line
{{org.apache.maven.plugins:maven-release-plugin:2.XXX:prepare}} would have
shown me the right version.
You've already found the sources, which means you're only one small step away
from [creating a
patch|http://maven.apache.org/guides/development/guide-m2-development.html#Creating_and_submitting_a_patch].
You don't have to use the commandline, I bet your IDE supports it too. (just a
java-file is very hard to analyze and quite fast out of sync, whereas patches
don't).
You've created a plaster for the issue, but I would like to fix the source:
what caused this Exception? And are you sure it's not the startIndex? Could you
create a very small sample-project to reproduce this issue?
[Here|https://svn.apache.org/viewvc/maven/release/trunk/maven-release-plugin/src/it/projects/prepare/]
are some examples.

> [ERROR] Failed to execute goal
> org.apache.maven.plugins:maven-release-plugin:2.XXX:prepare (default-cli) on
> project XXX: Execution default-cli of goal
> org.apache.maven.plugins:maven-release-plugin:2.XXX:prepare failed: String

> This is happening in
> org.apache.maven.shared.release.config.ReleaseUtils.loadResolvedDependencies(..),
> line number 250:
> artifactVersionlessKey = propertyName.substring( startIndex, endIndex );
> Apparently endIndex can be -1 under special circumstances. Defensive
> programming fixes the problem.
> Proposed patch (see attachment):
> if (endIndex > startIndex) {
> artifactVersionlessKey = propertyName.substring( startIndex,
> endIndex );
> } else {
> artifactVersionlessKey = propertyName.substring( startIndex );
