Arnaud Heritier updated MRELEASE-324:
-------------------------------------
Component/s: prepare
> There should be a way to update POM version numbers without tagging/branching
> -----------------------------------------------------------------------------
>
> Key: MRELEASE-324
> URL: http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/MRELEASE-324
> Project: Maven 2.x Release Plugin
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Components: prepare
> Reporter: Dan Fabulich
>
> Updating versions is useful; sometimes you just want to change the version
> numbers in your POMs without checking in right away. There should be a way
> to do that. It could either be a new goal (release:update-versions) or
> simply an option on release:prepare to avoid tagging.
> Why would you want this?
> ... because you need to use svnmerge.py
> http://www.orcaware.com/svn/wiki/Svnmerge.py
> ... because you're using an unsupported SCM MRELEASE-184
> ... because you need to take other manual steps before tagging (updating
> other metadata files)
> ... because you need to make a branch instead of making a tag MRELEASE-203
> ... because you're skipping version numbers (I was calling this 1.1-SNAPSHOT,
> but now I want to call it 2.0-SNAPSHOT)
> ... because you don't want to tag until after you've blessed the release (in
> the Maven release process, if the vote fails, you have to delete the tag)
> ... because you want to update your version number to contain special
> build-based metadata every time you build
