             Summary: Release plugin resets parent to outdated version
                 Key: MRELEASE-837
                 URL: https://jira.codehaus.org/browse/MRELEASE-837
             Project: Maven 2.x Release Plugin
          Issue Type: Bug
          Components: prepare
            Reporter: Markus KARG
            Priority: Critical


Using Maven 3.0.4 I noticed that the release plugin resets the parent to an outdated version. Here is what I noticed with all of my Projects when doing "mvn release:prepare":

* Asks whether I want to update the parent version. I say "yes".
* Asks whether "1.1" is the correct release version of paren, which is true.
* Asks whether "1.2-SNAPSHOT" is the correct developer version of parent, which is true.
* Asks whether "1.1" is the correct release version of child, which is true.
* Asks whether "1.2-SNAPSHOT" is the correct developer version of child, which is true.

After perform is done, my pom has different versions for parent and child:

* Child correctly has "1.2-SNAPSHOT"
* Parent incorrectly is reset to "1.1-SNAPSHOT"

This is simple to fix in each POM, but annoying when releasing much and often. Hence I would be glad if this could get fixed soon.
