Major Description
I am using the maven release plugin with git, trying to use the jgit provider.
pom.xml
...
<plugin>

<artifactId>maven-scm-plugin</artifactId>
<version>${maven-scm-plugin.version}</version>

This is how I run prepare:
mvn -X release:prepare
This works fine, here an excerpt from the command output:
... [DEBUG] Goal: org.apache.maven.plugins:maven-release-plugin:2.5.2:prepare (default-cli) [DEBUG] Style: Aggregating [DEBUG] Configuration: <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> <configuration> <addSchema default-value="true">${addSchema}</addSchema> <allowReleasePluginSnapshot default-value="false">${allowReleasePluginSnapshot}</allowReleasePluginSnapshot> <allowTimestampedSnapshots default-value="false">${ignoreSnapshots}</allowTimestampedSnapshots> <arguments>${arguments}</arguments> <autoVersionSubmodules default-value="false">true</autoVersionSubmodules> <basedir default-value="${basedir}"/> <checkModificationExcludeList>${checkModificationExcludeList}</checkModificationExcludeList> <commitByProject default-value="false">${commitByProject}</commitByProject> <completionGoals default-value="">${completionGoals}</completionGoals> <developmentVersion>${developmentVersion}</developmentVersion> <dryRun default-value="false">${dryRun}</dryRun> <generateReleasePoms default-value="false">${generateReleasePoms}</generateReleasePoms> <javaHome default-value="${java.home}"/> <localRepoDirectory default-value="${maven.repo.local}"/> <mavenExecutorId default-value="invoker">${mavenExecutorId}</mavenExecutorId> <mavenHome default-value="${maven.home}"/> <password>${password}</password> <pomFileName>${pomFileName}</pomFileName> <preparationGoals default-value="clean verify">${preparationGoals}</preparationGoals> <project default-value="${project}"/> <projectVersionPolicyId default-value="default">${projectVersionPolicyId}</projectVersionPolicyId> <providerImplementations> <git>jgit</git> </providerImplementations> <pushChanges default-value="true">${pushChanges}</pushChanges> <reactorProjects default-value="${reactorProjects}"/> <releaseVersion>${releaseVersion}</releaseVersion> <remoteTagging default-value="true">${remoteTagging}</remoteTagging> <resume default-value="true">${resume}</resume> <scmCommentPrefix default-value="[maven-release-plugin] ">${scmCommentPrefix}</scmCommentPrefix> <session default-value="${session}"/> <settings default-value="${settings}"/> <suppressCommitBeforeTag default-value="false">${suppressCommitBeforeTag}</suppressCommitBeforeTag> <tag>${tag}</tag> <tagNameFormat default-value="@{project.artifactId}-@{project.version}">@{project.version}</tagNameFormat> <updateDependencies default-value="true">${updateDependencies}</updateDependencies> <updateWorkingCopyVersions default-value="true">${updateWorkingCopyVersions}</updateWorkingCopyVersions> <useEditMode default-value="false">${useEditMode}</useEditMode> <username>${username}</username> <waitBeforeTagging default-value="0">${waitBeforeTagging}</waitBeforeTagging> </configuration> ...
Now I run perform:
mvn -X release:perform
And this is what maven sees:
... [DEBUG] Goal: org.apache.maven.plugins:maven-release-plugin:2.5.2:perform (default-cli) [DEBUG] Style: Aggregating [DEBUG] Configuration: <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> <configuration> <arguments>${arguments}</arguments> <basedir default-value="${basedir}"/> <connectionUrl>${connectionUrl}</connectionUrl> <dryRun default-value="false">${dryRun}</dryRun> <goals>deploy</goals> <javaHome default-value="${java.home}"/> <localCheckout default-value="false">${localCheckout}</localCheckout> <localRepoDirectory default-value="${maven.repo.local}"/> <mavenExecutorId default-value="invoker">${mavenExecutorId}</mavenExecutorId> <mavenHome default-value="${maven.home}"/> <password>${password}</password> <pomFileName>${pomFileName}</pomFileName> <project default-value="${project}"/> <reactorProjects default-value="${reactorProjects}"/> <releaseProfiles>${releaseProfiles}</releaseProfiles> <session default-value="${session}"/> <settings default-value="${settings}"/> <useReleaseProfile default-value="true">${useReleaseProfile}</useReleaseProfile> <username>${username}</username> <workingDirectory default-value="${project.build.directory}/checkout">${workingDirectory}</workingDirectory > </configuration> ...
Obviously providerImplementations is not present in the second output and maven is trying to find a command line git... I want to get it running without a command line git.
I'm running this on Windows, with Maven 3.3.3.
Looking at the code, I see that PerformReleaseMojo extends from AbstractReleaseMojo instead of AbstractScmReleaseMojo... any reason?
