maven-release-plugin error

[Matthew Tordoff <ma...@hotmail.com>]

Hi all,

I am having difficulties with the maven-release-plugin. It is the first time I have attempted to use this plugin and the error that it is throwing is really confusing me (see below). I have setup the tagBase and developerConnection configuration properties within the POM. Does anyone know of a good tutorial for getting a release up and running, because the documentation on the plugin page seems light to say the least.

I tried doing the release with the version set to both trunk-SNAPSHOT-devname and 0.3, but this didn't seem to make any difference.

Kind Regards,

Matt
