Configuration of policy for calculating next (release) version
--------------------------------------------------------------
Key: MRELEASE-431
URL: http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/MRELEASE-431
Project: Maven 2.x Release Plugin
Issue Type: New Feature
Components: prepare
Affects Versions: 2.0-beta-8
Reporter: Carsten Ziegeler
Currently, when preparing the release, the version to release is always the
next version which usually is the current version without the snapshot
extension.
There are quiet a lot projects (Apache Felix, Sling and others) following an
even release numbering policy. So while the current development version is odd
(like 1.2.3-SNAPSHOT), the next released version will be 1.2.4.
It would be nice if this could be made configuration through some configuration
property like
<versionPolicy>next-even</versionPolicy> (with possible values being: next
(default, as-is), next-even, next-odd
I briefly scanned through the code and it seems that adding support for this
requires changes in both, the release-manager and the release-plugin.
If this feature gets accepted and if someone could give me some minor hints
how/where to add this I could come up with a patch.
