–non-interactive flag prevents svn from getting credentials from OSX keystore. As a result you cannot authenticate on password protected svn servers.

Add this script ahead of svn in your classpath and you will be able to use the maven-release-plugin again on Leopard :

#!/bin/sh
if [ "$1" = "--non-interactive" -o "$1" = "--username" ]; then
shift
fi
if [ "$1" = "--non-interactive" -o "$1" = "--username" ]; then
shift
fi
/usr/bin/svn "$@"

Nothing new, but this may help maven newbies.

• Using Jetty to run maven webapps with automatic context reloading :
  Add the folowing plugin to your project
  
<plugin>
<groupId>org.mortbay.jetty</groupId>
<artifactId>maven-jetty-plugin</artifactId>
<configuration>
<scanIntervalSeconds>10</scanIntervalSeconds>
<webAppConfig>
<contextPath>/test</contextPath>
<tempDirectory>
${project.build.directory}/work</tempDirectory>
</webAppConfig>
</configuration>
</plugin>

  Then run :
  
mvn jetty:run

  See the maven-jetty-plugin page for more information
• Debugging webapps with maven : this can also be used to debug any remote java application
• Unit testing with Hibernate and HSQLDB
• Beware of “Q for Eclipse” : it seems that this maven plugin for eclipse changed my pom.xml and broke my jetty configuration (some attributes were removed). You should rather use m2eclipse for now
