Robert Scholte commented on MRELEASE-431: ----------------------------------------- There are at least two options: - through Plexus Components ( example is [Maven Compiler Plugin|http://maven.apache.org/plugins/maven-compiler-plugin/xref/org/apache/maven/plugin/compiler/AbstractCompilerMojo.html#420] where you can choose a compiler by its id. Implementations are marked as a Component and can be chosen by the hint. - through Plexus Configuration. I couldn't find a good example, but it should be something like this: {code:xml} <configuration> <versionPolicyManager implementation="com.acme.custom.MyVersionPolicyManager"> </versionPolicyManager> </configuration> {code} The advantage of the latter is that it is very straightforward if you want to use additional fields/setters on your VersionPolicyManager. For that reason this would be my choice right now. > Configuration of policy for calculating next (release) version > -------------------------------------------------------------- > > Key: MRELEASE-431 > URL: https://jira.codehaus.org/browse/MRELEASE-431 > Project: Maven 2.x Release Plugin > Issue Type: New Feature > Components: prepare > Affects Versions: 2.0-beta-8 > Reporter: Carsten Ziegeler > Attachments: > 0001-MRELEASE-431-Configuration-of-policy-for-calculating.patch > > > Currently, when preparing the release, the version to release is always the > next version which usually is the current version without the snapshot > extension. > There are quiet a lot projects (Apache Felix, Sling and others) following an > even release numbering policy. So while the current development version is > odd (like 1.2.3-SNAPSHOT), the next released version will be 1.2.4. > It would be nice if this could be made configuration through some > configuration property like > <versionPolicy>next-even</versionPolicy> (with possible values being: next > (default, as-is), next-even, next-odd > I briefly scanned through the code and it seems that adding support for this > requires changes in both, the release-manager and the release-plugin. > If this feature gets accepted and if someone could give me some minor hints > how/where to add this I could come up with a patch. -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA.
