maven-release-plugin deploys snapshot to archiva
maven, maven-release-plugin
Solution
I found the problem: The problem is, that I needed to update the `maven-scm-provider-gitexe` dependency, for the `maven-release-plugin` (version 2.4.2), when using Git as SCM:
<build>
<plugins>
....
<plugin>
<groupId>org.apache.maven.plugins</groupId>
<artifactId>maven-release-plugin</artifactId>
<version>2.4.2</version>
<dependencies>
<dependency>
<groupId>org.apache.maven.scm</groupId>
<artifactId>maven-scm-provider-gitexe</artifactId>
<version>1.9</version>
</dependency>
</dependencies>
</plugin>
</plugins>
</build>
I found the solution here: mvn release:prepare not committing changes to pom.xml
You can find a working example here: https://github.com/tarator/releaseplugintest
Problem
How can I force mvn release:perform to deploy to my release and not tom my snapshot repository? release:perform always deploys SNAPSHOT versions. Which makes no sense IMHO I have in my pom.xml ``` <groupId>com.mydomain</groupId> <artifactId>MyArtifactName</artifactId> <version>1.0.6-SNAPSHOT</version> <packaging>jar</packaging> <name>MyArtifactName</name> <url>http://maven.apache.org</url> <distributionManagement> <repository> <id>central</id> <url>http://repo.example.com/artifactory/libs-release-local</url> <name>libs-release-local</name> </repository> <snapshotRepository> <id>central</id> <url>http://repo.example.com/artifactory/libs-snapshot-local</url> <name>libs-snapshot-local</name> </snapshotRepository> </distributionManagement> <scm> <tag>HEAD</tag> <url>http://git.example.com/someUser/myproject</url> <connection>scm:git:git@git.example.com/someUser/myproject.git</connection> <developerConnection>scm:git:git@git.example.com/someUser/myproject.git</developerConnection> </scm> <build> <plugins> <plugin> <groupId>org.apache.maven.plugins</groupId> <artifactId>maven-release-plugin</artifactId> <version>2.4.2</version> </plugin> </plugins> </build> ```
