[Borut Bolčina <bo...@gmail.com>]

Hello,

When releasing the multimodule project and one of the transitive
dependencies is tools.jar a fatal error occurs.


mvn release:prepare -DgenerateReleasePoms=true

This only happens if -DgenerateReleasePoms=true is present.

I filed this at http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/MNG-3784

Any clues?
