I did not have this pom.xml checked into SVN and so it was trying to work with the previous revision of my file and this did not have a SCM URL defined. I have been able to get the plugin to prompt me for input regarding the tags, but I am falling over in the tagging process with the following exception:
Is this the same exception that has lead to the creation of the following issue in jira? http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/MNG-883 org.apache.maven.lifecycle.LifecycleExecutionException: An error is occurred in the tag process. Caused by: org.apache.maven.plugin.MojoExecutionException: An error is occurred in the tag process. at org.apache.maven.plugins.release.PrepareReleaseMojo.tagRelease(Prepar eReleaseMojo.java:1414) at org.apache.maven.plugins.release.PrepareReleaseMojo.execute(PrepareRe leaseMojo.java:246) thanks for taking to time to look into this.
