Release plugin : Update RELEASE versions to actual release version during prepare

2008-10-16 Thread Hayes, Peter
We are considering trying to use the special RELEASE version in our pom
files.  I think in order to generate reproducible builds though the
RELEASE version needs to be locked down to the actual latest release
version as specified in the metadata.  Once the release has been
performed, the version change should be reverted back to RELEASE.  
 
Is this part of the release plugin functionality?

the release plugin generates a resolve pom that it commits to the tag... that 
has the actual version...

there are caveats to its use like: it does not preserve exclusions and removes 
ranges but other than that it should be ok
