Christoph Kutzinski commented on MRELEASE-524:
----------------------------------------------
Thanks, seems to work now.
However, the documentation on
http://maven.apache.org/plugins/maven-release-plugin/examples/branch.html is a
little bit misleading as it doesn't mention the updateBranchVersions parameter
which you have to use. Otherwise the .rel parameters will have no effect.
I.e.
mvn --batch-mode release:branch -DbranchName=my-branch-1.2
-Dproject.rel.org.myCompany:projectA=1.2 \
-Dproject.dev.org.myCompany:projectA=2.0-SNAPSHOT
should read:
mvn --batch-mode release:branch -DupdateBranchVersions=true
-DbranchName=my-branch-1.2 -Dproject.rel.org.myCompany:projectA=1.2 \
-Dproject.dev.org.myCompany:projectA=2.0-SNAPSHOT
> command line versions don't seem to work on release:branch for specific
> format

> Key: MRELEASE-524

> Project: Maven 2.x Release Plugin
> Issue Type: Bug
> Components: branch
> Affects Versions: 2.0
> Environment: maven 2.2.1
> Reporter: Max Schaefer
> Assignee: Brett Porter
> Fix For: 2.1

> Attachments: MRELEASE-524-batch-mode(2).patch,

> I have tried passing versions for certain modules to the command line while
> making a branch. The plugin ignores my parameters when running
> release:branch. It injects the defaults if I pass parameters in batch mode.
> E.g. this command taken from the documentation does not work.
> mvn --batch-mode release:branch -DbranchName=my-branch-1.2
> -Dproject.rel.org.myCompany:projectA=1.2 \
> -Dproject.dev.org.myCompany:projectA=2.0-SNAPSHOT
> release:prepare supports this specific format for setting these values at
> command line.
> Setting these values in a release.properties file e.g.
> project.dev.org.myCompany\:projectA=2.0-SNAPSHOT
> project.rel.org.myCompany\:projectA=1.2
> works also fine.
> Specifying the default at commandline works also e.g.
> mvn --batch-mode release:branch -DbranchName=my-branch-1.2
> -DreleaseVersion=1.2 \
> -DdevelopmentVersion=2.0-SNAPSHOT
