Torsten Liermann commented on MRELEASE-699:
-------------------------------------------
This is also true for the branch goal. Specifying a -DreleaseVersion=1.0 the
release plugin generate as release version 1.0-SNAPSHOT. But when the plugin
ask for the branch version, the created branch pom will be correct.
> release:update-versions should support -DreleaseVersion too (not only
> -DdevelopmentVersion), so it also supports not suffixing the version with
> -SNAPSHOT

> The documentation

> http://maven.apache.org/plugins/maven-release-plugin/examples/update-versions.html
> states "The update-versions goal can use the same properties used by the
> prepare goal for specifying the versions to be used."
> That's not true, as releaseVersion is not supported:
>
> http://maven.apache.org/plugins/maven-release-plugin/prepare-mojo.html#releaseVersion
> This means, that if you do this:
> {{mvn --batch-mode release:update-versions -DdevelopmentVersion=1.2.0}}
> that the set version is not 1.2.0, but in fact 1.2.0-SNAPSHOT.
