Maven 3.0.3
Mercurial 1.9.1
Use case: I don't want to include <scm/> section in all my POM's since I want to perform releases only using CI software. It seems for me to be more useful configuration for distributed SCM's than using release plugins locally.
So I am providing '-Dproject.scm.connection=scm:hg:file://${basedir}/../' and '-Dproject.scm.developerConnection=scm:hg:file://${basedir}/../' to Maven's JVM. But it does not affect anything in maven-release-plugin. Also I did not find any property which I should use instead of project.scm.connection.
The error message I receive looks like I forgot to configure maven-scm-plugin:
[ERROR] Failed to execute goal org.apache.maven.plugins:maven-release-plugin:2.2.1:prepare (default-cli) on project parent: Missing required setting: scm connection or developerConnection must be specified. -> [Help 1]
