Maven Release plugin problem...

[Jeff]

We have a few jobs now building regularly and now I want to release them.  I installed the release plugin which when enabled, gives me a "Perform Maven Release" link on the job summary page.

 

I went into the job config and selected "Preselect 'specify SCM login/password" option. 

 

When I click the "Perform Maven Release" link and enter my SCM information, I get an error:

mavenExecutionResult exceptions not empty

message : Failed to execute goal org.apache.maven.plugins:maven-release-plugin:2.0:prepare (default-cli) on project Shared: Missing required setting: scm connection or developerConnection must be specified.

cause : Missing required setting: scm connection or developerConnection must be specified.

This being my first attempt and configuring a Maven Release, what am I missing?

• connection, developerConnection: The two connection elements convey to how one is to connect to the version control system through Maven. Where connection requires read access for Maven to be able to find the source code (for example, an update), developerConnection requires a connection that will give write access. The Maven project has spawned another project named Maven SCM, which creates a common API for any SCMs that wish to implement it. The most popular are CVS and Subversion, however, there is a growing list of other supported SCMs. All SCM connections are made through a common URL structure.

  scm:[provider]:[provider_specific]

  Where provider is the type of SCM system. For example, connecting to a CVS repository may look like this:

  scm:cvs:pserver:127.0.0.1:/cvs/root:my-project
