What's left over when "mvn release:prepare" crashes has <version>3.0.2</version>
in all poms.

And that builds just fine with "mvn clean install".

In the failing release build
 1. clean deletes the target directory

 2. then compile is run, compiling the "not found" class with no errors
     https://gist.github.com/steinarb/b4245e26cd10ee3a3def70e16438ba40#file-gistfile1-txt-L623

 3. then testCompile is run, and fails because it can't find the class
    compiled in step 2 above

I am using maven-release-plugin 3.1.1 (from July 2024, and used by me
since September 2024, so I've done successful releases with it before)

(I am also using central-publishing-maven-plugin 0.8.  Not sure how it
works together with maven-release-plugin, but they are both involved in
making releases.)
