If I recall correctly, the updateDependencies option was added recently. As you see in the plugin page, it is for a snapshot version. Perhaps you are using a stable version, which does not have this option included yet.
As far as I know, the updateDependencies option is just what you need.

I have a main maven project of the pom type which consists of 4 subprojects of the type jar. Two of my subprojects have dependency on the two previous ones. When I invoke mvn release:prepare -D dryRun=true everything works fine except that the dependencies from two last subrojects are not updated to the new dev version So for instance when I have following release state pom - 1.0.0-SNAPSHOT sub1 - 1.0-SNAPSHOT sub2 - 1.0-SNAPSHOT sub3 - 1.0-SNAPSHOT sub4 - 1.0-SNAPSHOT and inside sub3 pom.xml such dependency <dependencies> <dependency> <groupId>group</groupId> <artifactId>sub1</artifactId> <version>1.0-SNAPSHOT</version> <scope>provided</scope> </dependency> </dependencies> and even if the version for sub1 is increased by release the dependency version is not changed. I tried to use -D*updateDependencies <http://maven.apache.org/plugins/maven-release-plugin/prepare-mojo.html#updateDependencies> <http://maven.apache.org/plugins/maven-release-plugin/prepare-mojo.html#updateDependencies>=true but it didn't help* Is it an error or did I miss something? bests regards tomasz zieleniewski
