I agree, but you can't do that with the release plugin. If you want artifacts named 2.0-alpha1 you are going to get a tag named 2.0-alpha1 and there is no way to get it to create a tag with 2.0-alpha1-rc1. The only options I see are a) delete the tag after the release fails, b) rename the tag to -rcn after the release fails, or c) rename the tag to -rcn before the vote and then rename it to remove -rcn after it succeeds.
If you have other ideas please let me know. Note that the documentation on the Commons Wiki regarding using the release plugin doesn't document how to use Nexus. AFAIK, most commons projects don't use the release plugin. Ralph On Jul 22, 2012, at 12:38 PM, Gary Gregory wrote: > I see now, the problem is that the tag is incorrectly named.
