["Benoit Decherf (JIRA)" <ji...@codehaus.org>]

Benoit Decherf commented on CONTINUUM-1633:
-------------------------------------------

If I do it that way I will have a diferent behaviour between builds and the release. 
I won't be able to choose the version of the JDK to use (It seems that on some case, the behaviour is diferent between jdk1.4 and jdk1.6 with target and source 1.4), I won't be able to upgrade easily maven (I will have to do an internal version of continuum to upgrade the jars), and I won't be able to pass variable that are defined in the profile.

And in case of an error, it's easier to check the output of the release plugin than just see the failed phase and a short description of the problem.

The actual ways continuum make release is useless for us, and we will have to make a own release system If you are not interested with this feature. 
I'm finishing a first version of the release system we need (integrated to continuum). I will give you a sample URL at the end of the week to know what you think about it and if it will be possible to integrate it to continuum.

> I think that the release process should use the release plugin rather than the maven-release classes directly.
> Actually, it's possible to choose the maven installation to execute the compilation in continuum, BUT the maven version used to release a project can't be changed because of the compilation/runtime dependency of continuum-release.
> Also, if I configure the release plugin in pom.xml (for default values or to use a specific version of the plugin), this is ignored by continuum.
> What do you think about externalize the release execution using external command line as you do to execute scheduled goals ? Is there any blocker issue so that it's not possible ?
