Jason van Zyl commented on MNG-5576:
------------------------------------

There is nothing to use per se, it just prevents the warning when using the ${changelist}, ${revision}, and ${sha1} in the version. It is not specifically related to the maven-release-plugin. This is not directly related to the maven-release-plugin as the maven-release-plugin cannot be used for continuous delivery because it requires rebuilding.

> Currently warnings will be emitted when there are expressions in versions, a few exceptions should be deemed valid to make continuous delivery easier. The use case is to allow easy versioning of an entire multi-module build that can take a version from an external source like SCM. These are the types of exceptions that will be allowed:
> 1.0.0.$\{changelist}
> 1.0.0.$\{revision}
> 1.0.0.$\{sha1}
> When a whole build is versioned like this we can avoid churning the POMs in the SCM which makes it a lot easier to see the actual changes in the project. Not a complete solution for continuous delivery but is a step in the right direction and doesn't interfere with currently behavior as it is currently allowed, just warned against.
