Michael Wenig commented on MRELEASE-594: ---------------------------------------- bq. => I cleary see it as a bug, that the release has been possible. bq. Without some kind of command line / property override you mean ? Yes - I did not specify any special property. It would be ok if I had specify some property like "allowSnapshots". As we have a controlled environment for the release plugin it would be sufficient at our site to have an optional parameter to disallow Snapshot-Releases. bq. mvn release:foo -DallowSnapshotVersionInRelease=parent,plugin,dependency,project,all In the case it is needed at all this kind of solution would be perfect: * The (imho normal and widespread) usecase of not allowing any SNAPSHOT in a release at all would be supported by default * The ones who need SNAPSHOTS in released poms would be able to do it (even I still not fully understand the mentioned use case) * I have to explicitly state that I want to allow SNAPSHOTS * I am able to selectivly allow SNAPSHOTS * Indeed the need to explicitly specify an option to allow SNAPSHOTs should make people think about it if they are really using a reasonable process Regards Michael > release:prepare should stop when there is snapshots in dependencies management > ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ > > Key: MRELEASE-594 > URL: https://jira.codehaus.org/browse/MRELEASE-594 > Project: Maven 2.x Release Plugin > Issue Type: Bug > Components: prepare > Reporter: Thomas Bruyelle > Assignee: Olivier Lamy > Fix For: Backlog > > -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA.
