Robert Patrick commented on MRELEASE-951:
-----------------------------------------

If it is not a bug, what is the purpose of the release.properties file and its ability to specify the development version if the plug does not honor it?

> I created my release.properties file with the following content:
> tag=myproject-2.0.0
> releaseVersion=2.0.0
> developmentVersion=2.1.0-SNAPSHOT
> and invoked the release plugin with:
> mvn --batch-mode release:prepare
> After running the maven-release-plugin, the POM version was set to 2.0.1-SNAPSHOT even though I told it to set it to 2.1.0-SNAPSHOT.
