Allow versions:use-latest-release to change "1.1-SNAPSHOT" to "1.0"
-------------------------------------------------------------------
Key: MVERSIONS-85
URL: http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/MVERSIONS-85
Project: Maven 2.x Versions Plugin
Issue Type: Improvement
Affects Versions: 1.1
Reporter: Matthew McEachen
I've just started using the versions plugin -- very nice work, guys!
In trying out several of the goals, I applied "use-latest-snapshots" for
internal project dependencies, just on the off-chance that the project would
have new builds, we'd pick up those changes automatically. So, for example, my
pom.xml now depends on 1.1-SNAPSHOT for a "company-common" project.
Come release time for my project, though, several of the projects won't have
bothered to do a release, as there wasn't anything to release, so I want to
revert to 1.0 for "company-common".
The versions plugin in this use case leaves me high and dry -- the
"versions:use-latest-release" won't "downgrade" the 1.1-SNAPSHOT version to
1.0, and the maven release plugin will puke due to my SNAPSHOT dependency.
Can we add a configuration property to support "use latest release, even if
that means an older version than the current version"?
