Eclipse Maven release plugin

I'm trying to generate a release with goal release:prepare, but when I run it on Eclipse I got the error:

Failed to execute goal org.apache.maven.plugins:maven-release-plugin:2.0-beta-7:prepare (default-cli) on project mwframework: Can't run goal clean verify: Error while executing process. Cannot run program "mvn" (in directory "/home/gnng/Development/work-7-maven/mwframework"): java.io.IOException: error=2, No such file or directory -> [Help 1]

I'm using Eclipse Maven Embedded, what I doing wrong? Thanks in advanced.

Maybe I am asking the obvious, but did you check that directory does exist? - Alexander Pogrebnyak
Yeah, thats my workspace, I think plugin is trying to execute "mvn" from my computer and not from my Eclipse, I don't have Maven installed on my Ubuntu, just the Eclipse Embedded Maven. Should I install maven on my computer too? - Guilherme Gotardo
The problem is that plugin is trying to run an external MVN instead of Embedded MVN. - Guilherme Gotardo

The Maven release plugin always fork a child Maven build. So, you need to use external Maven installation (e.g. configure it in Eclipse).
