>                 Key: MRELEASE-271

>             Project: Maven 2.x Release Plugin
>          Issue Type: Bug
>          Components: prepare
>    Affects Versions: 2.0-beta-4, 2.0-beta-6

> We have a multi-module maven project that has recently started failing in the release:perform goal.  
> We have just added a couple more modules but do not know if that is the cause of the failure.  It seems that the release:perform fails to compile the source after the SCM tag and checkout.  The failure says that it cannot find a dependent jar but it is that jar that it is supposed to be building and releasing!  I updated to use the latest 2.0-beta-6 release plugin version but this did not help. 
> Upon receiving feedback in the maven users group that others have seen this behavior I followed their advise and added <configuration> <preparationGoals>clean install</preparationGoals></configuration> to my parent pom which did fix the problem.
> Why is the release goal failing now?  When do I and when do I not need these changes to my pom?  I will attach pom and build logs in hopes this can be fixed soon, let me know if you need additional information.
