Martin, thanks for your ideas, but...
>MG the previous email was an attempt to explain prepare-mojo will update >current or children artifacts but not parent artifacts I agree that the docs do not say anything about the parent, but my question is not about the docs, it is about this question the plugin is actually asking: "Resolve Project Dependency Snapshots.: 'my.group:my-parent' set to release? (yes/no) yes: yes What is the next development version? (1.1-SNAPSHOT) 1.1-SNAPSHOT: " "my.group:my-parent" *is the parent*. So why does this plugin ask this question? *That* is my question! :-) Also, I do not want to use another third-party plugin to update the parent at every *deploy*. I only want the parent to be corrected to that level the Maven Release Plugin suggests automatically *when preparing the release* (and only then!). So unless prepare-release is a phase (which I am not aware of) your suggested trick is not a solution to my actual problem. :-( Thanks! -Markus --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: users-unsubscr...@maven.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: users-h...@maven.apache.org
