Hi, On page: http://maven.apache.org/plugins/maven-release-plugin/examples/branch.html there is a remark at the bottom to control the branch and current versions with a command:
mvn --batch-mode release:branch -DbranchName=my-branch-1.2 -Dproject.rel.org.myCompany:projectA=1.2 \ -Dproject.dev.org.myCompany:projectA=2.0-SNAPSHOT -Dproject.dev.org.myCompany:projectA=2.0-SNAPSHOT seems to have a mandatory part "project.dev." then the artifact groupID: "org.myCompany" and then the artifact id: "projectA" I'm trying to use this command for may case but simply creates the branch and increments the work version by 1 and leaves untouched the branch version. What I'm trying to accomplish is to set manually the working version by incrementing the y part of the x.y.z-SNAPSHOT version format and to leave unchanged the branch version. Any idea how should I use the plugin? Regards, Jozsef
