Here is a view of how releases works and how we could improve with a prerelease
feature.

In green the release features available.
In red the prerelease feature I'm thinking about, which compute the beta
number, check the new number is "greater" than the last one: greater number at
the end or greater in alphabetic order (maven rules).

> Key: MRELEASE-1073

> Project: Maven Release Plugin
> Issue Type: New Feature

> 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.
