Description

I've recently tried to release a small remote-resources project, but couldn't do it with mvn3. After some look-up, it seems to be the result of several changes:

• I don't have any $HOME/.m2/settings.xml (only the $M2_HOME/conf/settings.xml is present and configured).
• From the 2.0-beta-8 of the release plugin, it now uses the -s option during the prepare phase
• from the mvn3.0-alpha-3, maven now don't ignore silently the absence of a settings.xml file specified with the -s option (see MNG-4408)

To reproduce, try to run release:prepare with mvn3 without having a user settings.xml.

Let me know if you need more information.

Cheers
