Julio J. Gomez Diaz commented on MRELEASE-1008:
-----------------------------------------------
[~johnlinp]This is not a cosmetic bug at all. It provokes unintended changes in
the POM's during the release process. It should be reviewed deeply. Maven
release plugin should change POM's only where it needs to manage the release
process, not in other places.
This issue should *not* be closed until is solved. Maybe somebody comes with an
idea or PR to make it work right.
