Olivier Lamy updated MRELEASE-3:
--------------------------------

  Fix Version/s:   (was: 2.0-beta-8)
            2.0-beta-9

IMHO it's more a MNG issue.
If you run your project with clean verify, with a clean repo and no modules deployed as a SNAPSHOT, it will fail too.
SO use -DpreparationGoals="clean install"

> release:prepare should not require multimodule artifacts to be in the local repository

> Currently, if you try to run release:prepare on a multimodule project after removing any of that build's artifacts from the local repository, it will fail. Investigate why release:prepare needs the multimodule artifacts installed in the local repository before it can succeed.
> To reproduce, comment the following line in it2002/test.sh:
> mvn clean install
> NOTE: This may have to do with the version resolution code, which is used to resolve SNAPSHOT versions.
