Darryl L. Miles created MRELEASE-808: ----------------------------------------
Summary: prepare-with-pom needs to be run twice when <finalName> contains ${project.version} Key: MRELEASE-808 URL: https://jira.codehaus.org/browse/MRELEASE-808 Project: Maven 2.x Release Plugin Issue Type: Bug Affects Versions: 2.3.2 Reporter: Darryl L. Miles Setup your project with a <project><build><finalName> element setup like: <finalName>${project.groupId}.${project.artifactId}-${project.version}</finalName> Setup ${project.version} to a SNAPSHOT like: <version>0.0.1-SNAPSHOT</version> The key thing here is the use of ${project.version} in the <finalName> and ew start with a SNAPSHOT version trying to perform a release. Now we run: mvn release:prepare-with-pom It will bail out with error now and a message ... "Cannot reliably adjust the finalName of project:" and I believe this is due to the -SNAPSHOT being visible and the code that throw the exception is looking at the original, unedited version of the pom.xml. I think after editing the pom.xml the in-memory model should be refreshed and all ${variable} be re-interpreted. -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA.
