--------------------------------------------
Summary: Pre-Release generation
Key: MRELEASE-1073
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/MRELEASE-1073
Project: Maven Release Plugin
Issue Type: New Feature
Reporter: Stéphane Passignat
Before generating a final release, it's often required to publish several kind
of beta version. When one is validated, it's intended to become a pure release.
SCM aspect:
* create a tag
* create a branch (option)
Process impact:
* be able to generate a release from a tag or revision
* be able to generate a pre-release from a tag or revision
Version number:
* the version is calculated looking at the scm tags (ex: 1.0-SNAPSHOT become
1.0.beta14 if the tags matching the tag pattern have as higher number
1.0.beta13)
There are maybe some discussion about the version number. Should it be .beta or
-beta...
I think it would be great to have this feature in the release plugin, keeping
in one consistent tool all release facets.
