mvn release：maven发布插件错误

Question

I am using Maven 3.3.3 and Github SCM to release a jar to Sonatype. I am able to run

mvn clean deploy -Dgpg.passphrase=xxxxxx
mvn release:clean -Dgpg.passphrase=xxxxxx

But on running 'mvn release:prepare -Dgpg.passphrase=xxxxxx' I am getting a maven-release-plugin error with the following error message

I have done the requisite Google + SO search but found nothing useful. I feel like there is a version mismatch somewhere but unable to figure out. Any ideas?

Answer 1

I was able to figure out the issue with using the -X option in the command line. It was complaining about "Cannot obtain passphrase in batch mode". I was able to fix it by moving the signing process in the pom within a profile and activating the profile only for the deploy goal.
