Does 'publish-plugin' command from release plugin work for a grails project (war application)?

[davide.cavestro]

I'd like to use the release plugin features to outline a release procedure that comprises scm integration for a grails application (not a plugin).
I've tried both adding build ":release:2.0.4" to BuildConfig.groovy and installing the plugin from CLI but every time I gave the following command

grails publish-plugin

I always get the error message

while I thought the plugin would support releasing a war as the plugin readme says
This plugin enables you to publish application WAR files and plugin packages (zip files) to Maven-compatible repositories
I've tried both with grails 2.0.x and 2.1... almost certainly I'm missing something, but what

The publish-plugin command is very much for plugins only. There is
also maven-install and maven-deploy which work for Grails applications
too.

The Release plugin could do with a refactor (far too much code is in
the scripts), so if you have ideas for what a publish command for
applications would look like, raise a JIRA.

Hi Peter, I just filed http://jira.grails.org/browse/GPRELEASE-39

As I stated there some of the features I proposed are already supported when publishing grails plugins, while other are currently missing even for them: please let me know if it could be useful to file them separately into an ad-hoc issue.

Cheers
