Mario Zagar commented on MVERSIONS-68:
--------------------------------------
We use TFS and have the same issue since TFS stores files as read-only until
they are explicity checked out.
This prevents me to use versions plugin efficiently since the process of
checking out all the poms on a multimodule project to remove read-only flag and
then modify them can be tiring.
In my case it would be enough to clear read-only flag on pom.xml and make it
writable before it is processed - I can then synchronize with TFS version
control and pick up an edit-change on the pom.
I propose an additional option 'forceWritable' to be added so versions plugin
would ensure pom.xml is writable before modifying it - this would solve the
issue for TFS (probably for clearcase too).
Please find enclosed a patch that adds 'forceWritable' to all version update
goals (revert goal does not have this option since pom.xml should already be
writable when this goal is used; please do correct me if I'm wrong).

> We use clearcase and the versions plugin doesn't seem to interact with the

> to interact with the SCM to make the pom's writable prior to updating and
> optionally check back in files once editing has been completed.
