Brett Porter commented on MRELEASE-524: --------------------------------------- I applied the patch, which went cleanly and made some improvement. However, the command line versions still don't work - owing to no registration of the properties in the release:branch goal. I'll look at adding that. > 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 > Fix For: 2.1 > > Attachments: MRELEASE-524-batch-mode(2).patch, > MRELEASE-524-batch-mode.patch > > > 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
