Hi developers,
I send you this mail because I'm totally irritated. I tried a few times to release a component. But it always fails while committing in release:prepare phase. Problem: [INFO] ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [INFO] BUILD SUCCESSFUL [INFO] ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [INFO] Total time: 10 seconds [INFO] Finished at: Fri Sep 25 15:34:46 CEST 2009 [INFO] Final Memory: 35M/154M [INFO] ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [ERROR] org.apache.maven.shared.release.scm.ReleaseScmCommandException: Unable to commit files Provider message: The svn command failed. Command output: svn: Commit failed (details follow): svn: Unrecognized URL scheme for '' at org.apache.maven.shared.release.phase.ScmCommitPhase.checkin(ScmCommitPhase.java:133) at org.apache.maven.shared.release.phase.ScmCommitPhase.execute(ScmCommitPhase.java:109) at org.apache.maven.shared.release.DefaultReleaseManager.prepare(DefaultReleaseManager.java:194) at org.apache.maven.shared.release.DefaultReleaseManager.prepareWithResult(DefaultReleaseManager.java:107) at org.apache.maven.continuum.release.executors.PrepareReleaseTaskExecutor.execute(PrepareReleaseTaskExecutor.java:43) at org.apache.maven.continuum.release.executors.AbstractReleaseTaskExecutor.executeTask(AbstractReleaseTaskExecutor.java:67) at org.codehaus.plexus.taskqueue.execution.ThreadedTaskQueueExecutor$ExecutorRunnable$1.run(ThreadedTaskQueueExecutor.java:116) at edu.emory.mathcs.backport.java.util.concurrent.Executors$RunnableAdapter.call(Executors.java:442) at edu.emory.mathcs.backport.java.util.concurrent.FutureTask.run(FutureTask.java:178) at edu.emory.mathcs.backport.java.util.concurrent.ThreadPoolExecutor.runWorker(ThreadPoolExecutor.java:1061) at edu.emory.mathcs.backport.java.util.concurrent.ThreadPoolExecutor$Worker.run(ThreadPoolExecutor.java:575) at java.lang.Thread.run(Thread.java:619) First of all I don't understand why the written URL is empty. We have set the SCM "connection" and also the "developerConnection" in our poms. Above there is more information about all that could be interesting to investigate this problem: SVN Structure:Multi module project that includes projects (on same level in SVN) via svn:externals.Maven Version: 2.1.0 SVN Version: 1.5.7 Maven Release Plugin Version: 2.0-beta-9 So, that's it. Thank you in advise for your help. Best regards Franco
