The release plugin does an awful lot more than deploy. The usual case is that
during development, your version is set to a snapshot - the plugin changes it
to a release version, commits the change to CM and tags it, among other things.
Deploy won’t do any of that.
Exactly but I think that all he wants to do it to deploy a single module
as a "RELEASE" that is not part of a part of the project (not a child
of the parent) but is related to it in some way. It appears that the
rest of the project is not ready for release yet but this module is.
My point is that for a single module, that is out of step with the rest
of the project, it make not be worthwhile fighting with the release
plug-in to save 30 seconds of CM work and 30 seconds of POM editing.
That said, your point about the versions is a good one. It makes no sense to
set the snapshot back to match the version just released.
I hope that this discussion of releases gets him back on track.
I do wonder if there was some confusion about the function of the
release-plug-in and the actual deploy of a release.
Your comments will go a long way to making this clearer.

I never us the release plug-in so you can take my comments with a grain of salt.
From reading the docs I am not sure that these are right.
-DdevelopmentVersion=52.0.0-SNAPSHOT -DreleaseVersion=52.0.0
My interpretation is that you are trying to get maven to go backwards.
You are saying to release 52.0.0 and make a new snapshot of 52.0.0-SNAPSHOT
which is not right.
-DdevelopmentVersion=52.0.1-SNAPSHOT -DreleaseVersion=52.0.0
seems to be the right arguments.
I am not sure why you are even using the release plug-in at all. If you just
want to deploy a release of one module just use the deploy command.
Release wants to do a some magic to your project to get it setup for the next
development cycle and I am not sure that you really want to do all this at this
time.
If you just want to deploy the current release and start working on
52.0.1-SNAPSHOT for one module, you can just deploy and change the pom to point
the 52.0.1-SNAPSHOT parent and you are ready for the next development cycle. -
Not worth wrestling with the release plug-in.

I hadn't specified a Maven release version anywhere, so I assume you meant
like this
mvn -B -DdevelopmentVersion=52.0.0-SNAPSHOT -DreleaseVersion=52.0.0
-Dusername=***** -Dtag=myprojectt-52.0.0 -DskipTests -P prod -Dresume=false
-DdryRun=true org.apache.maven.plugins:maven-release-plugin:2.4.2:prepare
However, I get the same errors, whether I specify the project version like
this:
<parent>
<artifactId>subco</artifactId>
<groupId>org.mainco.subco</groupId>
<version>52.0.0</version>
</parent>
or like this
<parent>
<artifactId>subco</artifactId>
<groupId>org.mainco.subco</groupId>
<version>52.0.0-SNAPSHOT</version>
</parent>
Was there something more I needed to do? -
