Christopher Tubbs commented on MRELEASE-963: -------------------------------------------- I just ran with {{-X}} and it looks like it's getting the {{<tagNameFormat>}} from the parent POM, and ignoring the property override. You said above that you can't overwrite it if it's already set in the effective POM, but I could've sworn I've seen user properties override plugin configuration before. Regardless, this unintuitive behavior seems like it's not an issue specific to maven-release-plugin, but a more general unintuitive behavior in Maven core. Thanks for assisting me in debugging this. > User property for tagNameFormat is ignored > ------------------------------------------ > > Key: MRELEASE-963 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/MRELEASE-963 > Project: Maven Release Plugin > Issue Type: Bug > Components: prepare > Affects Versions: 2.5.3 > Reporter: Christopher Tubbs > > I attempted to override the {{tagNameFormat}} in my pom.xml, using: > {code:xml} > <properties> > <tagNameFormat>custom-@{project.version}</tagNameFormat> > </properties> > {code} > This did not work.
