[jira] Commented: (MRELEASE-432) Execute plugin before questions about version

["Krashan Brahmanjara (JIRA)" <ji...@codehaus.org>]

    [ http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/MRELEASE-432?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=171896#action_171896 ] 

Krashan Brahmanjara commented on MRELEASE-432:
----------------------------------------------

My feature request is - add parametr "initGoals"  for tasks executed on start.

For example :
Instead command - 
   mvn buildnumber:create release:prepare 
user should run only 
  mvn release:prepare   with parameter <initGoals>buildnumber:create</initGoals>




> Execute plugin before questions about version

>                 Key: MRELEASE-432
>                 URL: http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/MRELEASE-432
>             Project: Maven 2.x Release Plugin
>          Issue Type: Improvement
>          Components: prepare
>    Affects Versions: 2.0-beta-9
>         Environment: 2.0
>            Reporter: Krashan Brahmanjara

> I don't see any solution how to execute plugins  before question like "What is the release version for" appears.
> Current "preparationGoals" are executed later. 
> Also command line sequence like mvn  plugin:task... release:prepare do not help.
> I suppose that many users would like to manage project.version before questions are displayed.
> In my example i tried to run buildnumber-maven-plugin or maven-scm-plugin to retrieve last ${buildNumber} or ${scm.revision} .  This number I would like use in final release number. Plugins under release are not executed.
> BTW.
> release:prepare execute scm (svn) so it also could return revision status in standard variable named ${scm.revision}
