> Key: HCATALOG-598
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HCATALOG-598
> Project: HCatalog
> Issue Type: Bug
> Components: build
> Reporter: Travis Crawford
> Assignee: Travis Crawford
> Fix For: 0.5

> As described in the [HCatalog release
> process|https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/HCATALOG/HowToRelease]
> the project version number is always checked in with a {{-SNAPSHOT}} suffix.
> When producing release artifacts the release version is specified on the
> command-line. This seems reasonable as it prevents people from accidentally
> producing a snapshot jar labeled as a release.
> HCatalog switched to using maven for resolving dependencies and publishing
> artifacts, and during this change setting the version via the command-line
> broke. Unfortunately maven does not support setting the version via the
> command-line (see http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/MNG-624, which has ~300
> votes and ~200 watchers at this time). We need a mechanism to easily produce
> release artifacts and set the version on the command-line.
