mvn：perform不会拉出providerImplementations

Question

I am using the maven release plugin with git over https, trying to use the jgit provider.

pom.xml

...
<plugin>
    <groupId>org.apache.maven.plugins</groupId>
    <artifactId>maven-scm-plugin</artifactId>
    <version>${maven-scm-plugin.version}</version>
    <configuration>
        <providerImplementations>
            <git>jgit</git>
        </providerImplementations>
    </configuration>
    <dependencies>
        <dependency>
            <groupId>org.apache.maven.scm</groupId>
            <artifactId>maven-scm-provider-jgit</artifactId>
            <version>${maven-scm-provider-jgit.version}</version>
        </dependency>
    </dependencies>
</plugin>
<plugin>
    <groupId>org.apache.maven.plugins</groupId>
    <artifactId>maven-release-plugin</artifactId>
    <version>${maven-release-plugin.version}</version>
    <configuration>
        <providerImplementations>
            <tagNameFormat>r@{project.version}</tagNameFormat>
            <git>jgit</git>
        </providerImplementations>
    </configuration>
    <dependencies>
        <dependency>
            <groupId>org.apache.maven.scm</groupId>
            <artifactId>maven-scm-provider-jgit</artifactId>
            <version>${maven-scm-provider-jgit.version}</version>
        </dependency>
    </dependencies>
</plugin>
...

This is how I run prepare:

mvn -X release:prepare -Dusername=whatever -Dpassword=whatever

This works fine, here an excerpt from the command output:

...

  <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:2.5.1:perform (default-cli)
[DEBUG] Style:         Aggregating

  <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 would expect it to cry out for not having username and password, but when I just added the git path to the PATH it worked?!

This is windows, maven 3.0.5, java 1.7.0_55 64-bit.

I want to get it running without a command line git.

Any ideas? Thanks!

Apparently, the release perform goal don't support providerImplementations.

I create an issue here, and provided a patch for this bug: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/MRELEASE-921
