Alexander Kriegisch commented on MRELEASE-899:
----------------------------------------------
[~michael-o], the issue is 7 years old. The last time I reproduced it was 13
months ago. Since then, I might have changed my settings, such as global Git
options, Maven version, Git for Windows version. Currently, I cannot reproduce
the problem in the GitHub reproducer project I had created long ago. That does
not necessarily mean that it is solved, it might just work for my current
combination of settings. This is the problem with code rot - you never know if
the issue is solved or just not being reproduced due to some changes in system
environment. So now we know nothing, really. I hope that someone else can
enlighten us more here.

> Key: MRELEASE-899
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/MRELEASE-899
> Project: Maven Release Plugin
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Reporter: Ralph van Etten
> Priority: Major
>
> Currently the plugin use the system property {{line.separator}} when it
> rewrites the pom.xml.
> This causes trouble, because every line in changed, when a project is
> released sometimes under Windows and sometimes under Linux (because of its
> different line separators).
> (http://stackoverflow.com/questions/11868590/maven-release-plugin-and-windows-line-breaks)
> Therefore it would be a nice feature when the plugin would not use the
> systems line separator but the line separator that is already used in the
> pom.xml.
> On the other hand, changing the existing behaviour would maybe, also harm
> someone else.
> Therefore it would be an great feature when there would be an property that
> define the expected behaviour, maybe in the same way it is done by the
> maven-assembly-plugin's property fileSet.lineEnding
> (http://maven.apache.org/plugins/maven-assembly-plugin/component.html#class_fileSet)
