I don't think the release plugin is designed to do what you want. Releases are supposed to be feature complete, developer-approved artifacts designed to be used externally. Automation is impossible with that definition.
I assume you want numbered releases so you have an exact manifest of what your system is running in each daily build? Sounds like you need a mix of snapshots and releases, something like numbered snapshots. -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Tuesday, February 07, 2006 9:37 AM To: Maven Users List Subject: Automating release:prepare I would like to execute a release:prepare and release:perform from continuum nightly. The release:prepare step prompts for tag name, next version name, etc. Looking at http://maven.apache.org/plugins/maven-release-plugin/prepare-mojo.html it appears there may be a way to do this without prompting, but I'm uncertain what the best way to do this is. Lets say my version number is 1.0.0.0-SNAPSHOT. Every night, I want to run a release:prepare and release:perform and bump the last digit by 1. So, I'd want release:prepare to change the version number to 1.0.0.0, tag it with a label (1.0.0.0) and then bump the version to 1.0.0.1-SNAPSHOT and then commit that. What approach would I take to do this? I was thinking about setting params in continuum such as, but I dont have access to the version number from there. Should you configure the plugin within the pom to accomplish this? If so, what's the best approach for bumping the version number? I think the pluginVersionManager may be of use, but I'm not sure. Any help/direction on this would be greatly appreciated. Thanks, Brian Yoffe This communication is for informational purposes only.
