Just try with a different release plugin configuration :

<preparationGoals>clean install</preparationGoals>

> Hi,
>
> I have a multi module project here. It has several dependencies like

>   <dependency>
>      <groupId>com.cedarsoft.commons</groupId>
>      <artifactId>serialization</artifactId>
>      <type>test-jar</type>
>      <scope>test</scope>
>    </dependency>
>
> Everything works as expected (install works). But I can't release a new
> version.
> release:prepare runs fine, but release:perform fails with a compiler
> error (cannot find symbol). The compiler doesn't find a class defined
> within the test-jar.

> Can anyone given me a hint what might be wrong?
