---------------------------------------

             Summary: Release plugin replaces parent version with pom version when groupId/artifactId are identical
                 Key: MRELEASE-849
                 URL: https://jira.codehaus.org/browse/MRELEASE-849
             Project: Maven Release Plugin
          Issue Type: Bug
          Components: prepare
    Affects Versions: 2.4.1
            Reporter: Tuomas Kiviaho
            Priority: Blocker


POM rewriting for release phase doesn't handle well the following use case. Parent version will be replaced which is not the intention here. 

{code:xml|title=pom.xml}
<project>
  <modelVersion>4.0.0</modelVersion>
  <parent>
    <groupId>foo</groupId>
    <artifactId>bar</artifactId>
    <version>1</version>
  </parent>
  <groupId>foo</groupId>
  <artifactId>bar</artifactId>
  <version>2-SNAPSHOT</version>
  <packaging>pom</packaging>
</project>
{code}

I would assume this to be perfectly valid when introducing a new non-backwards compatible feature to a parent pom. Probably I could replace the inheritance with delegation by using pluginManagement/dependencyManagement sections and import scope but I don't think there's similar notation for profiles.
