release:prepare can't resolve snapshot dependencies in batch mode
-----------------------------------------------------------------
Key: MRELEASE-548
URL: http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/MRELEASE-548
Project: Maven 2.x Release Plugin
Issue Type: Bug
Components: perform, prepare
Affects Versions: 2.0
Reporter: James Blewitt
When performing a release:prepare in interactive mode, various questions are
asked at the command line, e.g. what the next development version should be and
so on.
When performing a release:prepare in batch mode (using --batch-mode) these
questions are not asked and default responses are used instead.
The problem with this is that for the question regarding the resolution of
snapshot dependencies the default value is "no".
[INFO] Checking dependencies and plugins for snapshots ...
> There are still some remaining snapshot dependencies.: Do you want to resolve
> them now? (yes/no) no: :
release:perform in batch mode therefore doesn't ever resolve snapshot
dependencies. This prevents batch mode from being useful to projects using
snapshots.
I would like to request one of the following solutions:
- Snapshots ARE resolved by default in batch mode.
- There should be some way to explicitly state (using a command line parameter)
whether or not snapshots are resolved in batch mode.
