Maven 3.0's “mvn release:perform” doesn't like a pom.xml that isn't in its git repo's root directory

Question

I have a question about Maven, the maven-release-plugin, git integration, pom.xml\'s, and having pom.xml\'s in subdirectories of the repo\'s local copy rather than in the root.<

Answer 1

This should do the trick:

    org.apache.maven.plugins
    maven-release-plugin
    2.3.2
    
        
            default
            
                perform
            
            
                your_path/your_pom.xml
