[jira] (MRELEASE-467) Release preparation should update version of plugin dependencies

["Stefan Schilling (JIRA)" <ji...@codehaus.org>]

    [ https://jira.codehaus.org/browse/MRELEASE-467?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=312666#comment-312666 ] 

Stefan Schilling commented on MRELEASE-467:
-------------------------------------------

I just tried version 2.3.2, problem persists.
I was able to get around it by defining the plugin dependency yet again - as a standard dependency of scope test (defining the version to be used in a variable shared by dependency and plugin-dependencies).

> Currently plugin prepare release will update project dependencies, but not project plugin dependencies. Please support updating version of plugin dependencies as part of the prepare goal.
> This would be useful if one has a multi-module project with one module defining plugin with dependency to other project module, e.g. like in suggested handling of sharing checkstyle configuration between modules of a project (see http://maven.apache.org/plugins/maven-checkstyle-plugin/examples/multi-module-config.html and attached eclipse project). There one build resources module contains checkstyle configuration to be shared, while parent module inherited by all other project modules (except one with the checkstyle configuration) defines checkstyle plugin with added dependency to build resources module. Parent module defines build resources module as it's module, and both are built at the same time, likely all of them have same version. Currently version of plugin dependency version doesn't get updated automatically by prepare goal.
