Danilo Ghirardelli commented on MRELEASE-399:
---------------------------------------------
This wuold be very interesting, expecially for those internal projects and
parent poms. It would be way better that disabling entirely the feature as in
maven 3.
IMHO, typical use case for this feature is the
"shared"/"interfaces"/"singleSignOn" (or similar) project that is imported in
many company projects, that is seldom updated (and only to add something or for
bugfix).
> Replace dependency version for <version>RELEASE</version> dependency.

> Key: MRELEASE-399
> URL: http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/MRELEASE-399
> Project: Maven 2.x Release Plugin
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Components: prepare
> Affects Versions: 2.0-beta-8
> Reporter: Nicolas Adrian Barrera
>
> I 'm using RELEASE version for some dependencies in my current project.
> Imagine a simple scenario where i have project A who depends on project B...,
> A's pom.xml states:
> ...
> <dependency>
> <artifactId>b</artifactId>
> <groupId>ar.com.b</groupId>
> <version>RELEASE</version>
> </dependency>
> ...
> When running "mvn compile" to A, there maven knows which is B's last released
> version so that it can compile against certain specific code at that time,
> imagine it is 1.2.0.
> So why when I run "mvn release:prepare" A's tagged (released, svn cp) pom.xml
> doesn't replace <version>RELEASE</version> with <version>1.2.0</version> ?
> Why do i think it should?
> * So that A's released version will always work the same as that day I
> performed A's release
> * So that A's released version won't get hurted by possible
> non-backward-compatible changes on future B's releases
> I 've read at the Maven Definitive Guide e-book that use of
> <version>RELEASE</version> is not encouraged, but i seemed helpful for me
> until this point where I find this quite dissapointing.
> Please feel free to share thoughts may be I got confused with this but i
> think this is a problem that worth to be solved.
