Hi Karl, Unfortunately, the Maven-Release-Plugin doesn't cut it for us.
1. It doesn't support Tycho builds with regard to versions [1] 2. We do use release branches on our products (Eclipse RCP and docker containers) to do some acceptance testing. That's why we used to use the Atlassian Gitflow plugin (alas, they didn't support Tycho either) and are now migrating to the aforementioned plugin.
