Maven: repository element was not specified in the POM inside distributionManagement?

Tags:

maven

I am trying to run the command, mvn release:perform, but I get this error:

Failed to execute goal
org.apache.maven.plugins:maven-deploy-plugin:2.5:deploy
(default-deploy) on project git-demo:
Deployment failed: repository element
was not specified in the POM inside
distributionManagement element or in
-DaltDeploymentRepository=id::layout::url
parameter

Here's my pom.xml file:

<project xmlns="http://maven.apache.org/POM/4.0.0" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xsi:schemaLocation="http://maven.apache.org/POM/4.0.0 http://maven.apache.org/maven-v4_0_0.xsd">

Actually I can see the

repository

declaration inside the

distributionManagent

tag.

Here's my settings.xml:

<settings>

        <server>
            <id>localSnap</id>
            <username>deployment</username>

        </server>

        <server>
            <id>MylocalSnap</id>
            <username>deployment</username>
            <password>****</password>
        </server>

        <server>
            <id>myserver</id>
            <username>tomcat</username>
            <password>tomcat</password>
        </server>
    </servers>
    <mirrors>
        <mirror>
            <!--This sends everything else to /public -->
            <id>nexus</id>
            <mirrorOf>*</mirrorOf>
            <url>http://127.0.0.1:8080/nexus/content/groups/public/</url>
        </mirror>
    </mirrors>
    <profiles>
        <profile>
            <id>nexus</id>
            <properties>
                <project.build.sourceEncoding>MacRoman</project.build.sourceEncoding>
                <project.reporting.outputEncoding>MacRoman</project.reporting.outputEncoding>
            </properties>

            <!--Enable snapshots for the built in central repo to direct -->
            <!--all requests to nexus via the mirror -->
            <repositories>
                <repository>
                    <id>central</id>
                    <url>http://central</url>
                    <releases><enabled>true</enabled></releases>
                    <snapshots><enabled>true</enabled></snapshots>
                </repository>
            </repositories>
            <pluginRepositories>
                <pluginRepository>
                    <id>central</id>
                    <url>http://central</url>
                    <releases><enabled>true</enabled></releases>
                    <snapshots><enabled>true</enabled></snapshots>
                </pluginRepository>
            </pluginRepositories>
        </profile>
    </profiles>

    <activeProfiles>
        <activeProfile>nexus</activeProfile>
    </activeProfiles>

</settings>

Any advice why it complains?

Review the pom.xml file inside of target/checkout/. Chances are, the pom.xml in your trunk or master branch does not have the distributionManagement tag.

I got the same message ("repository element was not specified in the POM inside distributionManagement element"). I checked /target/checkout/pom.xml and as per another answer and it really lacked <distributionManagement>.

It turned out that the problem was that <distributionManagement> was missing in pom.xml in my master branch (using git).

After cleaning up (mvn release:rollback, mvn clean, mvn release:clean, git tag -d v1.0.0) I run mvn release again and it worked.

You can also override the deployment repository on the command line: -Darguments=-DaltDeploymentRepository=myreposid::default::http://my/url/releases

The ID of the two repos are both localSnap; that's probably not what you want and it might confuse Maven.

If that's not it: There might be more repository elements in your POM. Search the output of mvn help:effective-pom for repository to make sure the number and place of them is what you expect.
