Hi!
I somehow don't manage to get the maven-release-plugin running with CVS. When I run the mvn release:prepare target, the plugin complains "password is required" when verifying that no local changes were made. I found out, that the plugin is ignoring the "-D project.scm.developerConnection" and uses the connection specified in the pom.xml file (should'nt it be possible to override this with the -D option?). Anyway updating the release.properties file after executing the command once solves this problem. After that I ran into the next problem: My project needs a plugin that is still in development and therefore includes a SNAPSHOT version in the build section (build-helper-maven-plugin). The release plugin complains "Can't release project due to non released dependencies - org.codehaus.mojo:build-helper-maven-plugin:maven-plugin:1.0-SNAPSHOT". I understand that the plugin does not allow SNAPSHOT dependencies, but why doesn't it allow SNAPSHOT build plugins? Is there any possibility to ignore some dependencies? My configuration is the following: WinXP, JDK 1.5.0_6, Maven 2.0.2, maven-release-plugin 2.0-beta-3 and 2.0-beta-4-SNAPSHOT, CVSNT.
