[jira] [Commented] (MRELEASE-935) Support for expression in 'version' tag

["Robert Thornton (JIRA)" <ji...@apache.org>]

    [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/MRELEASE-935?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=16359091#comment-16359091 ] 

Robert Thornton commented on MRELEASE-935:
------------------------------------------

I would also like the release plugin to support this feature. For example, maven does support the ${revision} expression in the version tag in which case the <revision> property is expected not to have any expressions inside it.  However, the ${revision} expression is lost when the release plugin sets the development version.

I've attached a patch that resolves this issue.

> The release plugin doesn't support a version value that points to a property which define the version.
> Everytime I use the plugin, the version in the current POM loose the expression. Maybe it could work using the property to which it points?
