>             Project: Maven Release Plugin
>          Issue Type: Improvement
>          Components: prepare
>    Affects Versions: 2.0-beta-9
>            Reporter: Dave Copeland
>            Priority: Major

> We have SNAPSHOT dependencies in our poms during development.  When we do a release, we use the plugin's feature of setting these versions to release before the release:prepare is done.
> This works great, however, it is not available in batch mode; the default answer is "no", and so, in batch mode, the release:prepare just fails.
> This makes scripting our releases impossible without resorting to some Expect nonsense.
> Included is a patch that adds the configuration option {{projectDependenciesDefaultToRelease}}.  The value of this defaults to "false", which will cause {{release:prepare}} to behave as it does now.  Setting it to "true" defaults the answer to "yes" and thus, allows the release to proceed in batch mode.
> I didn't see a lot of test coverage of this area of the code, but this patch doesn't break any tests.
