Thanks. Actually NO. it create the release version with the same parent SNAPSHOT version. This only happens if you have a parent pom and not dependency. To clarify let me tell you that we have a core-parent project which is contains only a pom.xml with common dependencies for all projects to be inherited. in each project if I have a SNAPSHOT version, the release goal will fail but in our case that core-parent is SNAPSHOT it only asks to update and I reply 'yes' but no change is applied.
Yes you're right that the plugin cannot access the scm path of the core-parent so I supposed that it can read from the remote repository and find (suggest) the last release version. This is useful because we use TeamCity to automatically build and generate release version say weekly. Because this process runs automatically we cannot change the SNAPSHOT version manually. Another problem is that the first question the release:prepare asks : There are still some remaining snapshot dependencies.: Do you want to resolve them now? (yes/no) no: and you see the default is NO and if you answer no the process will fail, so I think this should be defaulted to YES because when I am going to create a release (especially in multi-module projects) I need to resolve all the snapshot version. Why I need it to be dafaulted to yes? because we can ask our TeamCity software to create release version with -B option so everything will go right Do you agree me?
