Geoffrey De Smet commented on MRELEASE-699:
-------------------------------------------
I can't use the release plugin for various reasons [1],
but when I am releasing, I do need to be able to change all my versions from
SNAPSHOT to release, tag and deploy and then from release to SNAPSHOT again.
[1] Here's why I can't use the release plugin:
- Our project has several git repositories with SNAPSHOT dependencies between
them: https://github.com/droolsjbpm (guvnor depends on drools, drools depends
on droolsjbpm-knowledge, ...). Having them all in a single git repo (of 1.2 GB)
was unworkable for many reasons, yet for the time being they do continue to
share the same release lifecycle.
- We use tycho for our eclipse plugin (see droolsjbpm-tools). The release
plugin and tycho don't integrate as far as I know.
So I am creating release scripts here (to avoid having to manually change
versions, tag, etc on every single release):
https://github.com/droolsjbpm/droolsjbpm-build-bootstrap/tree/master/script/release
and these require this patch.
> release:update-versions should support -DreleaseVersion too (not only
> -DdevelopmentVersion), so it also supports not suffixing the version with
> -SNAPSHOT

> The documentation
>
> http://maven.apache.org/plugins/maven-release-plugin/examples/update-versions.html
> states "The update-versions goal can use the same properties used by the
> prepare goal for specifying the versions to be used."
> That's not true, as releaseVersion is not supported:
>
> http://maven.apache.org/plugins/maven-release-plugin/prepare-mojo.html#releaseVersion
> This means, that if you do this:
> mvn --batch-mode release:update-versions -DdevelopmentVersion=1.2.0
> that the set version is not 1.2.0, but in fact 1.2.0-SNAPSHOT.
