Hi all, I'm using maven-release-plugin 2.0-beta-7 to release some artefact. It worked very very fine for a project that didn't have any SNAPSHOT dependency.
We have to projects A et B that are 2.1.0-SNAPSHOT. B depends on A. I just released A-2.1.0-m1 with maven-release-plugin. As this is not a final version yet, the "next development version" has been left to 2.1.0-SNAPSHOT. Then I tried to do the same with B. As expected, it asked me to update the dependency against A-2.1.0-SNAPSHOT. I want to release a B-2.1.0-m1 that would depends on the A-2.1.0-m1 I just released, but the plugin won't let me say my "next dev version" is 2.1.0-SNAPSHOT for B too. I think this is the problem: it seems like the scenario doesn't allow putting a "next development version" that equals the current. However it seems like it's totally common use case when releasing an alpha, before a beta and so on. However, it worked fine with A project without dependency, why not for B? It seems like there's something the plugin doesn't accept, but it doesn't say anything but asking me again about that version number... Here's the output : C:\projet\MIPIH\workspace\Socle Fonctionnel>mvn release:prepare -Dresume=false [INFO] Scanning for projects... [INFO] Searching repository for plugin with prefix: 'release'.

(2.1.1-SNAPSHOT) 2.1.1-SNAPSHOT: : 2.1.0-SNAPSHOT ... And so on. I tried ten times or so to see if I reach a threshold, but this really seems to loop. Is this a bug or some misuse of mine? Please let me know if I should file an issue. Cheers.
