Release preparation should update version of plugin dependencies
----------------------------------------------------------------
Key: MRELEASE-467
URL: http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/MRELEASE-467
Project: Maven 2.x Release Plugin
Issue Type: New Feature
Components: prepare
Affects Versions: 2.0-beta-9
Reporter: Stevo Slavic
Attachments: whizbang.zip
Currently plugin prepare release will update project dependencies, but not
project plugin dependencies. Please support updating version of plugin
dependencies as part of the prepare goal.
This would be useful if one has a multi-module project with one module defining
plugin with dependency to other project module, e.g. like in suggested handling
of sharing checkstyle configuration between modules of a project (see
http://maven.apache.org/plugins/maven-checkstyle-plugin/examples/multi-module-config.html
and attached eclipse project). There one build resources module contains
checkstyle configuration to be shared, while parent module inherited by all
other project modules (except one with the checkstyle configuration) defines
checkstyle plugin with added dependency to build resources module. Parent
module defines build resources module as it's module, and both are built at the
same time, likely all of them have same version. Currently version of plugin
dependency version doesn't get updated automatically by prepare goal.
