release:update-versions should support -DreleaseVersion too (not only -DdevelopmentVersion), so it also supports not suffixing the version with -SNAPSHOT ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Key: MRELEASE-699 URL: https://jira.codehaus.org/browse/MRELEASE-699 Project: Maven 2.x Release Plugin Issue Type: Improvement Reporter: Geoffrey De Smet The documentation http://maven.apache.org/plugins/maven-release-plugin/examples/update-versions.html states "The update-versions goal can use the same properties used by the prepare goal for specifying the versions to be used." That's not true, as releaseVersion is not supported: http://maven.apache.org/plugins/maven-release-plugin/prepare-mojo.html#releaseVersion This means, that if you do this: mvn --batch-mode release:update-versions -DdevelopmentVersion=1.2.0 that the set version is not 1.2.0, but in fact 1.2.0-SNAPSHOT. -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA.
