I have been trying to work out how to use release:prepare to create
reproducible releases of our projects - i.e. trying to get a
release-pom.xml generated with the versions of all the plugins
resolved (as documented in the Mergere book and the plugin
documentation).  It seems like I should just specify
-DgenerateReleasePoms=true (not sure why this wouldn't be the
default), but this doesn't seem to result in a release-pom.xml being
checked into the release-tag version in my SCM.

After not being able to get it to work, I had a look at the code for
the release plugin and it seems that the code in
GenerateReleasePomsPhase.java that would actually do anything (other
than printing out "Generating release POMs...") is all commented out!
I guess this would explain the results I am seeing, but does anyone
know why this is the case?

If this really isn't implemented, should we at least update the
documentation to indicate this?  Also, if anyone can confirm if the
commented code worked at some point maybe I can take a look at it and
see if it still works.

Thanks,
Mark
