daniel carter created MRELEASE-865:
--------------------------------------
Summary: snapshot dependencies in dependency management are not
updated
Key: MRELEASE-865
URL: https://jira.codehaus.org/browse/MRELEASE-865
Project: Maven Release Plugin
Issue Type: Bug
Components: prepare
Affects Versions: 2.4.2
Reporter: daniel carter
Attachments: pom.xml
release:prepare will refuse to release if you have dependencies that are
snapshot. For dependency management this has regressed, and allows you to do a
release with snapshot versions in your dependency management.
It was supposedly fixed in MRELEASE-202 and MRELEASE-91 though both contain
comments that it's not fixed.
This is a problem with parent poms, when you don't realise that you have
snapshot versions in your released pom until you try and release a child
project which uses these snapshots. But at this point it is too late, the
parent has been released.
See the attached pom as an example, change the scm url and mvn release:prepare
