I'm confused as to how the version number in a pom file and the system 
properties like -DdevelopmentVersion=2.0-SNAPSHOT and -DreleaseVersion=1.2

interact.
When I run a mvn -B release:prepare -DdryRun=true -Dtag=1.2 
-DdevelopmentVersion=2.0-SNAPSHOT -DreleaseVersion=1.2 for a pom.xml where 
<version>1.0</version> and <packaging>jar</packaging> the resulting jar file 
uses the pom version number not the command line version, i.e xxx-1.0.jar . Is 
this expected behaviour and if so what is the point of specifying the versions 
on the command line ?
