I'm sure we could arrive at a number that identified builds that occurred during this release process. So a build number is a build number regardless of where in the process and I'm sure we could create an identifier for this process if deemed necessary. Then the builds happening during the release process could use the build number, if people are using it for something critical, but the builds happening during the release could be clearly differentiated.

Ya... the build would need to use the release numbers for all those
bits, and only use the rc bits for the artifacts.

Else, you'd have to rebuild... but by rebuilding you basically
invalidate any assurance that the new build will be the same as the rc
build which presumably was voted upon.  So the only real option is to
make a release build with the real release numbers internally, but
publish the jars with their rc versions. And once approved copy the rc
artifacts to the release artifacts.

Hi,

just one comment: wouldn't it be better if release:accept would copy
the 2.0.5-rcX artifacts to 2.0.5 (like in Joakim's proposal) instead

of doing the build again ?


Wouldn't all the internal version numbers in things like
META-INF/MANIFEST.MF be messed up if Maven just copied and renamed the

files?
