Hello Manuel, I'm not surprised that the maven-release-plugin doesn't interfere with the versions of dependencies in a project.
IMHO you should change your expectations of the release:branche. The maven-release-plugin works on the current artifact. Whether or not other artifacts have been changed is out-of-scope for the release-plugin. I just wonder if you really would want maven to 'guess' which dependencies should be updated as well and if so: based on what argument should dependencies be allegeable for 'automatic updating'. It appairs to me that you want your projects to have a strong link concerning the versionNumbers of the artifacts. - Project A version 1.0-SNAPSHOT depends on Project B version version 1.0-SNAPSHOT - Project A version 1.1-SNAPSHOT depends on Project B version version 1.1-SNAPSHOT If that assumption is correct and you really want your artifact to be that tightly coupled, I would suggest that you move to a multi-module-project-structure[1], with all related modules in the same trunk/brances.
