Wojciech Rygielski commented on MRELEASE-899:
---------------------------------------------

I would agree with Alexander Kriegisch. There are some situations when having autocrlf off is desirable. All other tools and IDEs are configurable in this regard, this plugin seems to be somewhat of an exception. There are numerous threads on stackoverflow with people having the same problem.

> Currently the plugin use the system property {{line.separator}} when it rewrites the pom.xml.
> This causes trouble, because every line in changed, when a project is released sometimes under Windows and sometimes under Linux (because of its different line separators). (http://stackoverflow.com/questions/11868590/maven-release-plugin-and-windows-line-breaks)
> Therefore it would be a nice feature when the plugin would not use the systems line separator but the line separator that is already used in the pom.xml.
> On the other hand, changing the existing behaviour would maybe, also harm someone else.
> Therefore it would be an great feature when there would be an property that define the expected behaviour, maybe in the same way it is done by the maven-assembly-plugin's property fileSet.lineEnding (http://maven.apache.org/plugins/maven-assembly-plugin/component.html#class_fileSet)
