command line versions don't seem to work on release:branch for specific format --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Key: MRELEASE-524 URL: http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/MRELEASE-524 Project: Maven 2.x Release Plugin Issue Type: Bug Components: branch Affects Versions: 2.0 Environment: maven 2.2.1 Reporter: Max Schaefer I have tried passing versions for certain modules to the command line while making a branch. The plugin ignores my parameters when running release:branch. It injects the defaults if I pass parameters in batch mode. E.g. this command taken from the documentation does not work. mvn --batch-mode release:branch -DbranchName=my-branch-1.2 -Dproject.rel.org.myCompany:projectA=1.2 \ -Dproject.dev.org.myCompany:projectA=2.0-SNAPSHOT release:prepare supports this specific format for setting these values at command line. Setting these values in a release.properties file e.g. project.dev.org.myCompany\:projectA=2.0-SNAPSHOT project.rel.org.myCompany\:projectA=1.2 works also fine. Specifying the default at commandline works also e.g. mvn --batch-mode release:branch -DbranchName=my-branch-1.2 -DreleaseVersion=1.2 \ -DdevelopmentVersion=2.0-SNAPSHOT -- 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
