Thorsten Heit commented on MRELEASE-181:
----------------------------------------
There are at least two patches for release:prepare for this feature:
* MRELEASE-835
* MRELEASE-463
> During the release:prepare goal this plugin should check if released versions
> of SNAPSHOT dependencies exist before failing.

> Key: MRELEASE-181

> Project: Maven 2.x Release Plugin
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Components: prepare
> Environment: All
> Reporter: Gregory Scott

> During the release:prepare goal this plugin should check if released versions
> of SNAPSHOT dependencies exist before failing.
> When working in an environment where multiple modules are apart of the
> release it becomes time consuming to update each module with the correct
> version.
> For Example:
> Lets say you have 3 projects A, B, and C. Project A depends on B and C.
> Project B depends on C. All projects are at version x-SNAPSHOT. All projects
> have been tested and are ready for release. I run through the release process
> for Project C and version x is now deployed to the repository and ready for
> use. I then go to do the release for Project B the current release plugin
> fails because it says my POM is still referencing project C version
> x-SNAPSHOT. Oops okay I'll have to update the POM to use project C version x.
> This goes on an on. It would be nice for the plugin to realize that there is
> a SNAPSHOT dependency but goes and checks the repository for a released
> version of that SNAPSHOT; if found update the POM accordingly and continue
> with the release process.
