Maven Release plugin error: Version was not mapped

I'm using maven release plugin and I'm getting the following error:

[ERROR] Failed to execute goal org.apache.maven.plugins:maven-release-plugin:2.5.3:prepare (default-cli) on project ****: Version for '****' was not mapped -> [Help 1] org.apache.maven.lifecycle.LifecycleExecutionException: Failed to execute goal org.apache.maven.plugins:maven-release-plugin:2.5.3:prepare (default-cli) on project ****: Version for '****' was not mapped

I run the job from Jenkins and source code is in perforce. What am I missing? Thanks.

I'm not familiar with the Maven plugin but "mapped" in a Perforce context usually refers to a client view. I'm guessing the plugin is configured to use a particular client view to sync files, and the view does not include the project files that you need. - Samwise

You need to configure your project to use perforce as an SCM - use the maven-scm-plugin and add the dependency to the P4Maven plugin.

See the P4Maven manual.
