Hello. As a user of the maven-release-plugin, I find that the issue MRELEASE-282 <https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/MRELEASE-282> is an improvement that would be useful to improve the configuration of the prepare and perform goals.
In my specific case, I cannot configure different arguments for each goal given that both share the same property, and that the 1st one generates a release.properties file that overrides the configuration set in the pom file. Even more specifically, I would like to skip the tests compilation and execution during the perform goal, as this job is already done in the preparation, and adds a lot of overhead to the release pipeline (configuring the specific goals to run in the perform isn't suitable, as they may vary at any point). If you are aware of a better way of doing this rather than implementing the feature, please let me know. If that is the case, maybe it's worth mentioning it in the documentation site. Thanks and sorry for the noise.
