The Maven team is pleased to announce the release of the Maven Release Plugin,
version 2.1
This plugin is used to release a project with Maven, saving a lot of
repetitive, manual work. Releasing a project is made in two steps: prepare and
perform.
http://maven.apache.org/plugins/maven-release-plugin/
You should specify the version in your project's plugin configuration:
org.apache.maven.plugins
maven-release-plugin
2.1
Release Notes - Maven Release Plugin - Version 2.1
** Bug
* [MRELEASE-128] - SCM properties being replaced during release:perform
* [MRELEASE-317] - release:prepare should fail if any pom depends on
SNAPSHOT parent
* [MRELEASE-318] - Release plugin throws NullPointerException when using
version range for dependency
* [MRELEASE-350] - Option '0' for "specify the selection number ( 0:All
1:Project Dependencies 2:Plugins 3:Reports 4:Extensions ):" is broken
* [MRELEASE-370] - release:prepare is not updating inter-modules
dependencies to the next version snapshot identifier correctly (-DdryRun=true).
* [MRELEASE-458] - Branch Does Not Honor updateWorkingCopyVersions Setting
* [MRELEASE-524] - command line versions don't seem to work on
release:branch for specific format
* [MRELEASE-536] - CommonBasedir Calculation fails on windows
* [MRELEASE-546] - regression introduced in MRELEASE-261
* [MRELEASE-551] - Unable to release with maven 3 when having no
$HOME/.m2/settings.xml
* [MRELEASE-563] - help strings need help, they are not helpful out of
context
* [MRELEASE-586] - release:perform - The temporary file "pom.xml.branch"
should be ignored as "pom.xml.next" and "pom.xml.tag" are ignored
* [MRELEASE-589] - Resolved dependencies overwritten when multiple
subprojects with SNAPSHOT dependencies are released
** Improvement
* [MRELEASE-497] - Don't overwrite SVN auth cache
* [MRELEASE-530] - Git provider does 'git push' during 'mvn
release:prepare' which causes unwanted problems (scm 1.4 upgrade)
* [MRELEASE-554] - Allow custom files to be modified before doing a prepare
or branch...
* [MRELEASE-583] - Better Snapshot Dependency Handling
Enjoy,
-The Maven team
