Michael Osipov commented on MRELEASE-1073:
------------------------------------------
I don't really understand the purpose of your request. If you moved from
SNAPSHOT to {{-beta-13}} the Release Plugin will properly increment here. If
you are not happy with the release policy, you can write you own. Please
explain.
> Pre-Release generation
> ----------------------
>
> Key: MRELEASE-1073
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/MRELEASE-1073
> Project: Maven Release Plugin
> Issue Type: New Feature
> Reporter: Stéphane Passignat
> Priority: Major
>
> Before generating a final release, it's often required to publish several
> kind of beta version. When one is validated, it's intended to become a pure
> release.
> SCM aspect:
> * create a tag
> * create a branch (option)
> Process impact:
> * be able to generate a release from a tag or revision
> * be able to generate a pre-release from a tag or revision
> Version number:
> * the version is calculated looking at the scm tags (ex: 1.0-SNAPSHOT become
> 1.0.beta14 if the tags matching the tag pattern have as higher number
> 1.0.beta13)
>
>
> There are maybe some discussion about the version number. Should it be .beta
> or -beta...
>
> I think it would be great to have this feature in the release plugin, keeping
> in one consistent tool all release facets.
