I would never allow to patch the release plugin to accept a SNAPSHOT
version. You don't need to use the final version you can use a released
version but never a SNAPSHOT.(The release version maybe a alpha or beta
release)

Yes, I agree with Martin.
Perhaps a better way would be to patch the release plugin so that it
accepts SNAPSHOTs. Since I have dived into maven this week for a
rather complex project at my company, I'm no longer a total maven
newby. Hope I can afford some time next week to bring in my new
knowledge into MyFaces. As as starter I can have a look at the release
plugin sourcecode and see what's possible - but not before monday.
WDYT?

I don't even see why you need to be forced to use the final version of
a plugin - you can have an alpha-state plugin doing something on a
very mature project.

I also posted about issue on the maven dev list. There is definitely
room for improvement in the release plugin. It doesn't really
envision you creating a branch for a release that will be down the
road some time. I don't see why we need to switch to final versions
of a plugin until we are actually ready to release. Of course we
could skip the plugin but maven automates some of the important tasks
for you.

The biggest issue is the XSLT plugin. That is a snapshot and its not
a myfaces plugin. The only solution I can think of is to add it to
the maven project as our own plugin and release it (with a myfaces
group id.) Then when they finally get around to releasing the plugin
we could switch to the official one.
I am not that maven guy, but this kind of *work around* sounds ok for me.
