[jira] [Resolved] (MRELEASE-463) Ability to default "set to release" during release:prepare to "yes" instead of "no"

["Elliotte Rusty Harold (Jira)" <ji...@apache.org>]

     [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/MRELEASE-463?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:all-tabpanel ]

Elliotte Rusty Harold resolved MRELEASE-463.
--------------------------------------------
    Resolution: Won't Do


Since there's no activity here, there are no tests, and this issue is scheduled for autoclosure anyway, I'm going to make an opinionated call that we shouldn't fix this. The current behavior is reasonable, and we have too many options to document and support already.

>             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.
