Robert Munteanu commented on MRELEASE-431: ------------------------------------------ I've attached a patch which adds a 'versionPolicy' property to the plugin. Possible values are 'default' - which is what the plugin does today - and 'odd-even', which ensures that snapshot dependencies are always odd and release versions are always even. You can also review the [commit on github|https://github.com/rombert/release/commit/35e42901868d5c18289e6687bbecdd78cddbf03e] as well. I tried to keep changes minimal and self-contained and also added tests as well as I could. I'm open to iterating on this so please let me know what you think. Thanks!

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. -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA.
