Paul Gier commented on MRELEASE-173: ------------------------------------ Ok, I could add releaseVersion and devVersion as default versions which can be overridden by the more specific properties which include the groupId and artifactId. But being able to release a multi-module project with multiple versions is an important feature IMO. We currently have a project set up like that, so handling only single version releases would not help me. > Allow command line specification of versions > -------------------------------------------- > > Key: MRELEASE-173 > URL: http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/MRELEASE-173 > Project: Maven 2.x Release Plugin > Issue Type: Improvement > Affects Versions: 2.0-beta-3, 2.0-beta-4, 2.0-beta-5 > Reporter: Chris Tucker > Assignee: Paul Gier > Fix For: 2.0-beta-8 > > Attachments: release-version.diff > > > It is convenient in a batchMode environment to specify the version to release > and the new version to update SNAPSHOT artifacts to. The attached patch > against maven-release-manager and maven-release-plugin provides the basic > functionality to allow this. > The maven-release-plugin will now accept two new arguments: > -DreleaseVersion=<version string for release> > -DdevVersion=<version string for next development cycle> > For example, to release version 1.2 of a project and move up to version > 2.0-SNAPSHOT one would issue: > $ mvn release:clean release:prepare -DreleaseVersion=1.2 -DdevVersion=2.0 > --batch-mode > This patch is against current trunk (471862). It currently doesn't support > resuming, so a release:clean is necessary if a previous release attempt has > been prepared. -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA. - If you think it was sent incorrectly contact one of the administrators: http://jira.codehaus.org/secure/Administrators.jspa - For more information on JIRA, see: http://www.atlassian.com/software/jira
