title: Maven release:prepare fails with "scm connection or developerConnection must be specified"
body: <p>I'm trying to prepare a release of my maven project with <code>mvn release:prepare</code> but it fails with the following error:</p>
  
  <blockquote>
    <p><em>Caused by: org.apache.maven.plugin.MojoFailureException: Missing required setting: scm connection or developerConnection must be specified.</em></p>
  </blockquote>
  
  <p>After reading about these settings on maven.apache.org, I see that there are SVN (Version Control) settings. 
  But I'm not using version control. How should I make a maven release in this case?<br>
  I'm using maven 3.0.3.</p>
