Of course the pom.xml is in git. It is not in the root directory and the release:perform step does not like this. My directory structure looks something like this: /Documentation /Development pom.xml /src
I believe I just need some way to tell the plugin that the working directory is actually /Development and not the root directory. Here is an issue that discusses a similar problem, but I don't want to commit the parent project and all sub-modules one at a time. http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/MRELEASE-322 -- jim On Nov 1, 2011 6:45 PM, "Ansgar Konermann [via Maven]" < ml-node+s40175n4956527...@n5.nabble.com> wrote: > Am 01.11.2011 22:27, schrieb Jim Cook: > > This is where the problem occurs, since the pom.xml is not in the > working > > directory. > Just for clarity: does this mean, your pom.xml is not in the git > repository you're trying to release? > > If so: DFMYL (Don't Fight Maven, You'll Lose!). > > Put your pom.xml under version control inside the git repository (which > is a good idea anyway) and things will get better.
