Jenkins not showing Maven Release Plugin

Question

I've installed the Maven Release Plugin for Jenkins and the Release Plugin. I restarted Jenkins once these plugins were installed. 

Now the problem is, In my maven Project Job, under "Build Environment", I do not find this plugin. How do I look for it? Is it even installed properly? 

Answer 1

I think the reason is that your job is not Maven Project type.
When creating the project, select the project type Maven Project:

and then you will be able to see "Perform Maven Release" an additional menu option to start Build:

Yeah! Thanks! Mine was a freestyle project. Once I shifted to Maven Project, I found the Perform Maven Release Option.

Answer 2

Make your project type Maven Project. This is done in the first step, that is when you create a new project and jenkins gives a variety of options to select from. Few examples of different project types are Freestyle, Maven, Multi-configuration, Pipeline etc. Select the "Maven Project" amongst those options, configure your project based on your requirement. And then you'll be able to see the perform maven release option to the extreme right of your jenkins dashboard.
