maven-release-plugin not able to locate extensions

[Sahoo <Sa...@Sun.COM>]

Hi,

I am having problems using maven-release-plugin and I need some help 
urgently. While doing a release:prepare, maven is not able to locate an 
extension. I am using maven 2.0.7 on JDK 1.5. Given below are the 
essential details of the pom.xml that's facing the issue:
    <parent>
        <groupId>org.glassfish.ejb</groupId>
        <artifactId>ejb</artifactId>
        <version>3.0-Prelude</version>
    </parent>
    <version>3.0-Prelude</version>
    <artifactId>ejb-timer-databases</artifactId>
    <packaging>distribution-fragment</packaging>
    <build>
        <extensions>
            <extension>
                <groupId>org.glassfish.build</groupId>
                <artifactId>maven-glassfish-extension</artifactId>
                <version>${project.version}</version>
            </extension>
        </extensions>
    </build>

As you can see, it uses a packaging type called distribution-fragment, 
which is understood by our own extension called 
org.glassfish.build:maven-glassfish-extension. We build the extension as 
part of the same reactor. For some other reason, we don't use 
<extensions>true</extensions> in our plugin configuration. I am able to 
do a normal build successfully, but when I am trying to prepare a 
release using maven-release-plugin, it fails with following error:


        [INFO] 
------------------------------------------------------------------------
        [ERROR] BUILD ERROR
        [INFO] 
------------------------------------------------------------------------
        [INFO] Failed to resolve artifact.
       
    Missing:
        ----------
        1) org.glassfish.build:maven-glassfish-extension:jar:3.0-Prelude
       
      Try downloading the file manually from the project website.
       
      Then, install it using the command:
              mvn install:install-file -DgroupId=org.glassfish.build 
-DartifactId=maven-glassfish-extension \
                  -Dversion=3.0-Prelude -Dpackaging=jar -Dfile=/path/to/file
        Alternatively, if you host your own repository you can deploy 
the file there:       mvn deploy:deploy-file 
-DgroupId=org.glassfish.build -DartifactId=maven-glassfish-extension \
                  -Dversion=3.0-Prelude -Dpackaging=jar 
-Dfile=/path/to/file \
                   -Durl=[url] -DrepositoryId=[id]
       
      Path to dependency:
                1) 
org.glassfish.ejb:ejb-timer-databases:distribution-fragment:3.0-Prelude
                2) 
org.glassfish.build:maven-glassfish-extension:jar:3.0-Prelude
       
    ----------
        1 required artifact is missing.
       
    for artifact:
          
org.glassfish.ejb:ejb-timer-databases:distribution-fragment:3.0-Prelude

What is surprising is that it fails even when I have built the extension 
separately and installed it in my local repository. How can I avoid this 
error?

Thanks,
Sahoo

First of all, thank you very much for taking the time to read my email 
and suggesting something. I tried your suggestion as shown below:
mvn -o release:prepare -DautoVersionSubmodules=true -DdryRun=true 
-DpreparationGoals="clean install"
, but it fails with same error.

Thanks,
Sahoo

Try configuring the release plugin to run all the way through
'install' rather than through 'integration-test' which is the default.

This isn't ideal, as you're building the artifact with the released
version in the filename _before_ the 'perform release' step, but there
are certain situations where it can't find things in the reactor.
