Re: maven release-plugin 2.5 bug - releasing snapshots...

You don't mention Release Candidate of Milestone Releases. It seems that some of the versions that are going through to integration and end-user testing might fit these categories. These were mentioned earlier in this thread but seemed to have been skipped in the discussion as your process got b

Hi, Let me join this thread, because that "someone" is me. As said by Stephen: the version handling prior to 2.4 contained several issues, so you were relying on a bug. This has all been done as part of MRELEASE-511[1] and related issues. There is no such thing as a "formal SNAPSHOT": it's a

Re: maven release-plugin 2.5 bug - releasing snapshots...

So if I understand correctly you want to use SNAPSHOTs because: - you don't want the artifact to end up in the "releases"-repository yes, because QA needs to be done first - SNAPSHOTs are cleaned up automatically, so if QA doesn't accept a release, it's cleaned up for you. The SNAPSHOT usage

Re: maven release-plugin 2.5 bug - releasing snapshots...

Fully agree but with a snapshot not should be treated an release. The concept of "official snapshots" along with full site info and branch tagging don't seem wrong where I come from. If a project going through some stringent QA where formal test teams want to keep track of what they testing agains

Re: maven release-plugin 2.5 bug - releasing snapshots...

Doing it as I explained did NOT allow you to do a release or refer to it within other resources during a legic release phase What you triggered was a release (as if legit) to go into the snapshot repo - cant see any issues with that kind of behavior and have turned out to be very useful when imple

Re: maven release-plugin 2.5 bug - releasing snapshots...

Let me rephrase. The release plugin is designed to make release versions. It is not designed to make -SNAPSHOT versions. It was a bug that it let you specify a -SNAPSHOT version as the release version. The bug has been fixed. On 28 March 2014 13:18, ghostwolf59 wrote: > That's a way to general s

Re: maven release-plugin 2.5 bug - releasing snapshots...

That's a way to general statement to be made - that also is incorrect ! A snapshot is not allowed for final release - but could still be released into a shapshot repo for test purposes ! The question really bogs down to how much control you'd like to have against a release snapshot. Anyone can

You do know you are not allowed to release a version containing a -SNAPSHOT don't you? On 28 March 2014 12:23, ghostwolf59 wrote: > Sorry for that - I was just in the process of updating this a simple > copy/paste mistake > > I am using 2.5 when the problem occur - as illustrated on the imag

I don't think this issue have been rectified. The maven release plugin I use (downloaded from maven central via my plugin) is as follows... This fail: org.apache.maven.plugins maven-release-plugin

Re: maven release-plugin 2.5 bug - releasing snapshots...

Weird, many users reported the 2.5 had fixed their issues. What (version) are you actually using for: * maven * maven-release-plugin (triple-check you hadn't redefined maven-scm-* dependency somewhere) * svn ? Git ? Something else ? On a unrelated subject : issuing a "mvn clean install deploy" co
