Karl,
Thanks for the information. Based on your response, it seems that I
have specify the SCM in order to use
maven-release-plugin. I have also found the versions-maven-plugin, which
seems to do what I want it to do, without
using the SCM from maven. There are plenty of other files that I need to
update as part of the version change, and I don't
want to have multiple change lists for it.
As for the ancient version of the release plugin, I'll update the
version information in the next development cycle.
cheers,
mehul
