> Before generating a final release, it's often required to publish several kind of beta version. When one is validated, it's intended to become a pure release.
> SCM aspect:
>  * create a tag 
>  * create a branch (option)
> Process impact:
>  * be able to generate a release from a tag or revision
>  * be able to generate a pre-release from a tag or revision
> Version number:
>  * the version is calculated looking at the scm tags (ex: 1.0-SNAPSHOT become 1.0.beta14 if the tags matching the tag pattern have as higher number 1.0.beta13)
>  
>  
> There are maybe some discussion about the version number. Should it be .beta or -beta...
>  
> I think it would be great to have this feature in the release plugin, keeping in one consistent tool all release facets.
