command line versions don't seem to work on release:branch ----------------------------------------------------------
Key: MRELEASE-387 URL: http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/MRELEASE-387 Project: Maven 2.x Release Plugin Issue Type: Bug Affects Versions: 2.0-beta-8 Environment: maven 2.0.9 and 2.1.0 M1, maven release plugin 2.0-beta-8 Reporter: Jeff Vogelsang I have tried all the various permutations for passing versions to the command line while making a branch. The plugin ignores my parameters when running release:branch. It either interactively prompts for new versions, or injects the defaults if I pass parameters in batch mode. Here's an example of two commands I have tried running that don't work: mvn release:branch -DbranchName=RB-[top-level-project-name]-1.0.4 -DautoVersionSubmodules=true -DupdateBranchVersions=true -DupdateWorkingCopyVersions=false -DdevelopmentVersion=1.0.4-SNAPSHOT mvn release:branch -DbranchName=RB-[top-level-project-name]-1.0.4 -DautoVersionSubmodules=true -DupdateBranchVersions=true -DupdateWorkingCopyVersions=false -Dproject.dev.[org package].[top-level-project-name]=1.0.4-SNAPSHOT Both of those commands prompt me for versions and no matter what parameters I type use the current project revision as the default. If I do batch mode with --batch or -B, the release plugin just injects the current project revision into the branch and ignores my parameters. -- 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
