Anders Hammar created MRELEASE-874:
--------------------------------------
Summary: Improve doc about specifying version of plugin could
sometimes be required on command-line
Key: MRELEASE-874
URL: https://jira.codehaus.org/browse/MRELEASE-874
Project: Maven Release Plugin
Issue Type: Improvement
Components: documentation
Affects Versions: 2.5
Environment: online docs
Reporter: Anders Hammar
On the page
http://maven.apache.org/maven-release/maven-release-plugin/examples/perform-release.html
it states the following command to execute when specifying a tag as well:
{quote}
mvn release:perform
-DconnectionUrl=scm:svn:https://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/maven/plugins/tags/maven-release-plugin-2.0
{quote}
IMHO, in most scenarios when doing this one would do this outside of the
project and Maven would then use the version om m-release-p specified in the
super-POM of the executing Maven. Which could be an old version (Maven 3.0.4
specifies v2.0 of m-release-p for example).
I suggest clearly explain this and also the command to use the latest version
of the plugin, i.e.:
{quote}
mvn org.apache.maven.plugins:maven-release-plugin:<VERSION>:perform
-DconnectionUrl=scm:svn:https://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/maven/plugins/tags/maven-release-plugin-2.0
