To my knowledge, "that's the way we always did it" is the correct answer here, assuming the question is "upper case and underscores" versus "lower case and dashes". As you can see here, the former has been used since the very beginning of Struts, almost 10 years ago: http://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/struts/struts1/tags/ Bear in mind that there's an enormous amount of Struts history prior to us adopting Maven, let alone the Maven release plugin, so this is hardly surprising. That the Maven default is different is simply the result of the Maven team picking the wrong default release naming scheme. :-p If there's an easy way to tell the release plugin to use "upper case and underscores" instead of "lower case and dashes", the continuity would be nice, since there's no other good reason to change what we've been doing for so long. If there isn't an easy way to do that, though, and it's a nuisance to change the default for some reason, then I'm not dead set against adopting the Maven way. -- Martin Cooper > -Wes > > On Wed, Dec 16, 2009 at 12:50 PM, Lukasz Lenart > <lukasz.len...@googlemail.com> wrote: >> 2009/12/16 Martin Cooper <mart...@apache.org>: >>> In Lukasz's checkins just now, I see version numbers being changed to >>> 2.1.8-SNAPSHOT.
