maven2 build fails due to 'RELEASE' plugin version

    • maven-plugin
    • None
    • Hudson 1.393 (and I think 1.392)
      Running on Ubuntu 10.04.1 x86_64.

      After upgrading to 1.393 my maven2 based builds have started failing and complain that I am using the "RELEASE" version for the maven-release-plugin. I can successfully build the same source code using maven 2.2.1 from a standalone commandline.

      Note I'm pretty sure that maven3 requires that a version of each plugin is specified and will eventually go through my projects and make this change but in the meantime this is a regression that is going to confuse others who upgrade to latest Hudson.

      The console output that I get is as follows:

      At revision 2589

      I have not changed any of my pom.xml files in the past month so I can be fairly sure that I didn't make a mistake there.

          yes the new version use maven 3 apis to parse poms.
          Not sure we will be able to fix that.
          BTW it's very bad practise because with configuring version your build is not reproductible !

          Thanks for the quick reply. I'm aware that using RELEASE is not best practice. I didn't actually realise that one of my POMs had it in there.

          I can confirm that changing the maven-release-plugin to version 2.1 (from RELEASE) does fix the build failure so there is an easy workaround for the regression.

          I tested the fix for this issue in 1.395 and can confirm that it fixes the issue.

          Thanks.
