Release Plugin Question

[Thomas Jackson]

I would like some confirmation as to if my expectations as to how the 
release plugin is supposed work are correct. 

I expect the release plugin to change the version number in the 
dependency section for snapshots when it asks me to resolve the 
dependencies and I answer yes.  Let me try to give you a concrete 
example.....

Take the following pom.xml for
<project xmlns="http://maven.apache.org/POM/4.0.0"; 
xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance";
 xsi:schemaLocation="http://maven.apache.org/POM/4.0.0 
http://maven.apache.org/maven-v4_0_0.xsd";>

 <modelVersion>4.0.0</modelVersion>

 <groupId>com.xco</groupId>
 <artifactId>main-jar</artifactId>
 <version>1.0-SNAPSHOT</version>

 <packaging>jar</packaging>

 <name>mainjar</name>

 <description>This is the main jar.</description>

 <scm>
   
<connection>scm:svn:http://svn-server/repos/productA/trunk/main/main-jar</connection>
   
<developerConnection>scm:svn:http://svn-server/repos/productA/trunk/main/main-jar</developerConnection>
   <tag>HEAD</tag>
   <url>http://svn-server/websvn/listing.php?repname=repos</url>
 </scm>

 <dependencies>

   <dependency>
     <groupId>xml-apis</groupId>
     <artifactId>xml-apis</artifactId>
     <version>1.3.03</version>
     <scope>compile</scope>
   </dependency>
   
   <dependency>
     <groupId>com.abc</groupId>
     <artifactId>dependent-jar-a</artifactId>
     <version>1.0-SNAPSHOT</version>
     <scope>compile</scope>
   </dependency>
   
   <dependency>
     <groupId>com.abc</groupId>
     <artifactId>dependent-jar-b</artifactId>
     <version>1.0-SNAPSHOT</version>
   </dependency>

 </dependencies>
 
</project>


by running

mvn release:prepare

I would expect the pom.xml in the tagged location and in the trunk 
location to look like the following after it asks me to resolve the 
dependencies.

 </dependencies>

Are my assumptions about the release plugin correct or do I have to 
change the dependencies manually?

Thanks
Thomas
