maven-release-plugin

We use Hudson and the maven-release-plugin to do the release builds. Now I have a project which contains an assembly that puts together all needed components and then packages them into a .tar.gz package with the desired directory structure. Now I'm trying to get the release-plugin to deploy this package to our Maven repository during the release:perform goal, but only the standard stuff (sources, javadoc, POM) are deployed. I've already bound the assembly goal to the maven package phase, and the .tar.gz gets build during the release, but not uploaded to the repository. Any hints what I'm

i would like to release a snapshot project 'foo-1.0-SNAPSHOT' using the maven release plugin. The project depends on a 3rd party module 'bar-1.0-SNAPSHOT' which is not released yet. I use the option 'allowTimestampedSnapshots' in my project's pom.xml to allow timestamped snapshots but i assume that the 3rd party module (bar) is not timestamped unless i build it myself as maven still complains about unresolved SNAPSHOT dependencies. Is there a way to release the project foo regardless of dependent SNAPSHOT projects and if not how could i add a timestamp to the 3rd party project? Gareth Davis
