Oops, they're not left behind. I had a problem in my POM, and the release failed. After fixing the POM and redoing the release, the files disappeared.
When performing a release in maven, what should I do with the pom.xml.releaseBackup and release.properties files?

Question
When I execute mvn release:prepare
, I end up with two new files, release.properties
and pom.xml.releaseBackup
, and when I execute mvn release:perform
, those two files do not get removed.
I've read up about the maven release process, and I understand that these files are not removed, and I understand why.
What I can't find out is whether or not those files should be checked in, deleted, or ignored.

OTHER TIPS
You can also run
mvn release:clean
To remove any left-over files.
