If the project is not a snapshot, then the release plugin complains that you are trying to release something that is already a release. Just change the version in the pom to <release-version>-SNAPSHOT and it should be ok. View the original post : http://www.jboss.com/index.html?module=bb&op=viewtopic&p=4103318#...
