The way I read it, the underlying problem is " if I configure the release plugin in pom.xml (for default values ... ), this is ignored by continuum. "
Correct.
And I believe that's fixed and Continuum now picks up release plugin configuration in the pom. (Except for the problem that if you configure one of the params, you lose the defaults for the rest, but that's in JIRA.)
Ok, I didn't know that - so the specific issue mentioned in that JIRA is now resolved?
To me, release is complex enough when we know what single version of the libraries is being used. What value is added by using the release plugin directly and allowing the user to pick the version? And do we lose anything by using the release plugin instead of the libraries? (For example, can we still do the list of phases on the release prepare screen and show where you are in the process or where it failed?)
I wasn't suggesting using the release plugin - just that his core issue needs to be fixed and that the patch may offer something towards it.
