             Summary: failWhenParentIsSnapshot does not respect onlyWhenRelease
                 Key: MENFORCER-477
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/MENFORCER-477
             Project: Maven Enforcer Plugin
          Issue Type: Bug
    Affects Versions: 3.2.1
            Reporter: Peter De Maeyer


I have a snapshot project that has a snapshot parent.

At release time, I want to use the enforcer plugin to make sure the release version of my project only depends on release versions, including the parent. So I use{{failWhenParentIsSnapshot=true}}.

For snapshot versions of my project, I want to _allow_ snapshot dependencies including snapshot parent, so I use {{onlyWhenRelease=true}} to disable the enforcer for snapshot versions.

Expected: my snapshot project build succeeds with a snapshot parent.

Actual: my snapshot project build _fails_ with a snapshot parent, despite the {{onlyWhenRelease=true}}.

I suspect that {{failWhenParentIsSnapshot}} does not take the {{onlyWhenRelease}} into account.

The intuitive fix for me would be that the combination of both options behaves as expected.

I imagine that maybe it is a design choice to keep both options completely independent of each other, so an acceptable alternative for me would be to introduce yet another option, e.g. {{onlyWhenParentIsRelase}} that behaves similar to {{onlyWhenRelease}} but applies to the parent only.
