Maven release plugin fails : source artifacts getting deployed twice

Question

We are using the maven release plugin on hudson and trying to automate the release process. The release:prepare works fine. When we try to do the release:perform , it fails

Answer 1

I faced similar issue. Artifacts were getting deployed twice and the resultant build was failing.

Checked and found that the issue was in Jenkins Script. The settings.xml was called twice. Like:

sh "mvn -s settings.xml clean deploy -s settings.xml deploy -U .....

which caused the issue. Updated this line and it worked like a charm:

sh "mvn clean deploy -s settings.xml -U .....
