Robert Scholte commented on MRELEASE-431:
-----------------------------------------
It looks like we don't now yet if the arguments are complete. I think we can
expect more arguments. For that reason I'd like to introduce the
{{VersionPolicyRequest}} a simple pojo. This way the signatures of the manager
will always stay the same, we just add fields to this requestobject if we want.
> Configuration of policy for calculating next (release) version

> 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.
