Hello. Recently I've got acquainted with the release plugin. I started using it, it works great but I am missing one feature. The problem is the following: the version that is specified in a POM is used not only in this POM but also in another place in a plain-text format. Actually it is used in the MANIFEST.MF in the special header. So when I perform a release the release version have the new version, the trunk version gets the new y-SNAPSHOT version but that MANIFEST.MF file has old version x-SNAPSHOT which becomes wrong both in trunk and in the release.
What I want is two steps to be executed while release:perform (phrases in quotes are taken from here http://maven.apache.org/plugins/maven-release-plugin/examples/prepare-release.html ): - The first is after the step "Change the version in the poms from x-SNAPSHOT to a new version (you will be prompted for the versions to use)": the same transformation must be done with the text file that I specify. - The second is after the step "Bump the version in the POMs to a new value y-SNAPSHOT (these values will also be prompted for)": the same transformation must be done with text file that I specify. How can I achieve this? Thank you. -- С уважением, Григорий Пташко +7 (916) 1489766 [email protected] http://www.cmmt.ru
