Resolution: Not A Bug
Update properties should never roll back a version. If you have advanced to a
newer version and decide to go back, your SCM should be able to assist
reverting to the previous version. The update goals are designed to move to
newer versions.
Deciding what the previous version could be is actually a lot harder than you
would think!
Deciding on the next version and the latest version is a little easier and is
helped somewhat by the list of available versions.
We can infer rules about incrementing version numbers, ie 1.0.1.0 has possible
next versions of 2.0.0.0, 1.1.0.0, 1.0.2.0, 1.0.1.1. Working backwards is a
lot harder programatically, especially when you get down to the 0.0.1 version
numbers....
In short, if you need to roll back either use versions:rollback, or scm, or
edit by hand to a very early version and run update-properties again ;-)
update-properties will only ever modify the pom if it has a _newer_ version to
update with
