[jira] Commented: (MRELEASE-523) ReleaseUtil throws "java.lang.StringIndexOutOfBoundsException: String index out of range: -1"

["Petr Kolesa (JIRA)" <ji...@codehaus.org>]

    [ http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/MRELEASE-523?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=234578#action_234578 ] 

Petr Kolesa commented on MRELEASE-523:
--------------------------------------

Same problem in cmd Win XP.

We have a multinode project that is built with sun javac ver 1.5.0_14, however one sub project is built with javac 1.6.0_20.
There is a corresponding release-plugin configuration in that sub project pom:
<plugin>
	<artifactId>maven-compiler-plugin</artifactId>
	<configuration>
		<fork>true</fork>
		<executable>${JAVA6_HOME}/bin/javac</executable>
		<compilerVersion>1.6</compilerVersion>
	</configuration>
</plugin>

JAVA6_HOME is an environment variable with value something like 'c:\dev\tools\java6\'. If a drive letter is in lower case, release plugin DOES NOT throw above-mentioned OoBE exception. However if a drive letter is in upper case ('C:\dev\tools\java6\'), release:prepare fails.


Hope this will help someone

> Hello,
> i have an issue using the maven release plugin 2.0, previous versions did not have this issue.
> In a multimodule project, release:prepare exits with the attached stack trace.
> After a litte debugging, i found out that in ReleaseUtil, line 188 
> String dir = FileUtils.normalize( p.getBasedir().getPath().replace( '\\', '/' ) ); 
> returns "c:\..." for the parent module, but "C:\..." for the first submodule.
> So in line 202
> basedir = StringUtils.getCommonPrefix( new String[]{dir, basedir} );
> results in an empty String, which leads to the exception in line 206.
> I will try to compose a simple example as soon as possible.
