I use the Maven release plugin to release DataNucleus and following the
Sonatype guide(s) I ended up editing the users ".m2/settings.xml" with
(something like)
<profiles>
<profile>
<id>development</id>
<properties>
<gpg.passphrase>YOURPASSPHRASE</gpg.passphrase>
</properties>
</profile>
</profiles>
<activeProfiles>
<activeProfile>development</activeProfile>
</activeProfiles>
and so I never have to enter the passphrase at release. HTH
