Hello Edmon, i packaged maven-release but it's sitting only in F-14
(a pre-2.0 svn snapshot) and rawhide (release tagged 2.0) right now.
It contains both maven-release-manager and maven-release-plugin

The logs doesnt tell that much, try invoking mvn-jpp with the -X flag to get
the exception.

Your specfile needs some work beside the failing build:
- URL should be the webpage of the project
- Source should point to the actual download url:
Source0: http://downloads.sourceforge.net/%{name}/%{name}-%{version}.tar.gz
- you should Require: java
- groupId in %add_to_maven_depmap is net.sourceforge.htmlunit
- verrel in changelog is 2.7-1 not 1:2.7


cheers,
Guido
