Robert Scholte commented on MRELEASE-431:
-----------------------------------------
[~simonetripodi] asked me to give some feedback. I have some other stuff which need to be
released first.
I still have to decide if we should introduce a separate project for the versionPolicyManager
or include it as a module of the Maven Release project. Another thing on my mind: should the
API support methods to make it a major, minor or bugversion increase, or leave that up to
the implementation ( which should be verify easy with the {{implementation=""}} trick)?
Since we're talking about an API which will stay forever, we need the time to make the right
decisions.
> Configuration of policy for calculating next (release) version
> --------------------------------------------------------------

> Key: MRELEASE-431
> URL: https://jira.codehaus.org/browse/MRELEASE-431
> Project: Maven Release Plugin
> Issue Type: New Feature
> Components: prepare
> Affects Versions: 2.0-beta-8
> Reporter: Carsten Ziegeler
> Assignee: Robert Scholte
> Fix For: 2.5

> Currently, when preparing the release, the version to release is always the next version
which usually is the current version without the snapshot extension.
> There are quiet a lot projects (Apache Felix, Sling and others) following an even release
numbering policy. So while the current development version is odd (like 1.2.3-SNAPSHOT), the
next released version will be 1.2.4.
> It would be nice if this could be made configuration through some configuration property
like
> <versionPolicy>next-even</versionPolicy> (with possible values being: next
(default, as-is), next-even, next-odd
> I briefly scanned through the code and it seems that adding support for this requires
changes in both, the release-manager and the release-plugin.
> If this feature gets accepted and if someone could give me some minor hints how/where
to add this I could come up with a patch.
