that's only the default - the release plugin asks you what to version to
use for the release and similarly what the next snapshot version will be

for example, the framework currently has version of 1.1.0-SNAPSHOT
while we do maintenance and development - but the last maintenance
release was 1.0.3, and the next stable release will be 1.2.0

It means that those who are using felix in their maven project will need to

no this policy only affects the actual felix project and sub-projects, not
people who use felix in their projects - I have released several projects
that use the bundleplugin and I always set the version manually rather
than assuming the release plugin will do it

in fact people using felix in their projects should have been testing with
a released version before doing a release (that's really not the best time
to change a project's dependencies)

also, afaik the prompting and changing of snapshot versions is meant
to be limited to the project you're releasing - not outside dependencies

Doesn't this cause an issue within the felix release process?


no - Maven is very flexible when it comes to the version process
