Hi, My project has dependencies on various common components, that have their own release lifecycle To get quicker bug-fixes and features we used to get them as SNAPSHOT, and when we plan a release we release first the commons, then the project.
To do this, I need to upgrade my POM to switch snapshots to recent released version, here is the workflow : * release common * upgrade POM to released commom * release the project I would like to automate the latest steps using versions:use-releases<http://mojo.codehaus.org/versions-maven-plugin/use-releases-mojo.html> BUT using this one as a preparationGoal in release plugin fails, as the "Don't use SNAPSHOT" rule is checked by release plugin before the preparationGoal is executed. Do you have any suggestion on the way to do this ? Maybe I should create a Jira to change the release proces task order, so that the SNAPSHOT check occurs AFTER preparationGoal (makes sense to me, but maybe this has some side-effects) Cheers, Nicolas
