Ability to default "set to release" during release:prepare to "yes" instead of
"no"
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Key: MRELEASE-463
URL: http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/MRELEASE-463
Project: Maven 2.x Release Plugin
Issue Type: Improvement
Components: prepare
Affects Versions: 2.0-beta-9
Reporter: Dave Copeland
Attachments: MRELEASE-default-snaps-PATCH.diff.gz
We have SNAPSHOT dependencies in our poms during development. When we do a
release, we use the plugin's feature of setting these versions to release
before the release:prepare is done.
This works great, however, it is not available in batch mode; the default
answer is "no", and so, in batch mode, the release:prepare just fails.
This makes scripting our releases impossible without resorting to some Expect
nonsense.
Included is a patch that adds the configuration option
{{projectDependenciesDefaultToRelease}}. The value of this defaults to
"false", which will cause {{release:prepare}} to behave as it does now.
Setting it to "true" defaults the answer to "yes" and thus, allows the release
to proceed in batch mode.
I didn't see a lot of test coverage of this area of the code, but this patch
doesn't break any tests.
