-------------------------------------

             Summary: Maven release plugin should retain settings.security environment variable for its forked executions of release:prepare and release:perform
                 Key: MRELEASE-1063
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/MRELEASE-1063
             Project: Maven Release Plugin
          Issue Type: Improvement
    Affects Versions: 2.5.2
            Reporter: Hans Aikema


While trying to create a build with on-demand local provisioning of the secrets for the technical build-user on the build-slave (removing them directly after their use) I found out the hard way that the Maven-release plugin does not support a custom location for settings-security in the way that is documented at MNG-4853.

When running

{{mvn --settings myGeneratedSettings.xml -Dsettings.security=myGeneratedSettings-security.xml -B release:prepare release:perform}}

The user settings.xml flag is honored (by the fix of MRELEASE-577), but the custom settings-security from the environment variable is lost causing password decryption failures and therefor in the end a release failure when running against a repository that requires authentication.

 As a workaround one has to change the invocation to
 either

{{mvn --settings myGeneratedSettings.xml -Dsettings.security=myGeneratedSettings-security.xml -B release:prepare release:perform -DpreparationGoals="clean verify -Dsettings.security=myGeneratedSettings-security.xml" -Dgoals="deploy site-deploy -Dsettings.security=../../myGeneratedSettings-security.xml"}}
 or
 {{mvn --settings myGeneratedSettings.xml -Dsettings.security=myGeneratedSettings-security.xml -B release:prepare release:perform -DpreparationGoals="clean verify -Dsettings.security=myGeneratedSettings-security.xml" -Dgoals="deploy -Dsettings.security=../../myGeneratedSettings-security.xml"}}

depending on whether there is a site distribution configuration or not.
