[jira] Commented: (MRELEASE-173) Allow command line specification of versions

["Paul Gier (JIRA)" <ji...@codehaus.org>]

    [ http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/MRELEASE-173?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=131811#action_131811 ] 

Paul Gier commented on MRELEASE-173:
------------------------------------

I took a different approach than what was in the patch, since the patch was out of date and only handled single version releases.  To set the release version from the command line, you now have to use project.rel or project.dev and the groupId and artifactId.  So you end up with something like this:

mvn --batch-mode -Dtag=my-proj-1.2 -Dproject.rel.org.myCompany:projectA=1.2 \
     -Dproject.dev.org.myCompany:projectA=1.3-SNAPSHOT release:prepare

This allows multiple versions to be passed for a multi-module release.  There is now an example for this in the site docs in svn.

> It is convenient in a batchMode environment to specify the version to release and the new version to update SNAPSHOT artifacts to.  The attached patch against maven-release-manager and maven-release-plugin provides the basic functionality to allow this.
> The maven-release-plugin will now accept two new arguments:
> -DreleaseVersion=<version string for release>
> -DdevVersion=<version string for next development cycle>
> For example, to release version 1.2 of a project and move up to version 2.0-SNAPSHOT one would issue:
> $ mvn release:clean release:prepare -DreleaseVersion=1.2 -DdevVersion=2.0 --batch-mode
> This patch is against current trunk (471862).  It currently doesn't support resuming, so a release:clean is necessary if a previous release attempt has been prepared.
