If you do not have a GPG agent running, make sure that you have the “apache-release” profile set in your settings.xml as shown below.
GPG configuration in maven settings xml:
<profile> <id>apache-release</id> <properties> <gpg.passphrase>[GPG_PASSWORD]</gpg.passphrase> </properties> </profile>
Run the release
