Would be great if Maven guru community can help me with the following task.

I would like to automate the release process of Maven module in Hudson in a way that release process runs in batch mode (does not need anything to be asked from console). Currently I use common steps release:prepare (with <preparationGoals>versions:update-parent clean verify</preparationGoals> to update parent to latest version before commit) + release:perform. However I would like Maven to do the following:

Somewhen during preparation step:

  • For all dependencies which match the groupId of the current module and parent, replace -SNAPSHOT with released version (e.g. versions:use-releases -Dincludes=???).

Somewhen after release:

  • For all dependencies which match the groupId of the current module and parent, replace release version with -SNAPSHOT version (e.g. versions:use-latest-snapshots ...).

Example:

<parent>
    <groupId>org.mycompany.myproject</groupId>
    <artifactId>myproject-parent</artifactId>
    <version>1.0-SNAPSHOT</version>
</parent>

<dependency>
    <groupId>${project.groupId}</groupId>
    <artifactId>myproject-api</artifactId>
    <version>1.1-SNAPSHOT</version>         
</dependency>

before module is tagged is transformed into:

<parent>
    <groupId>org.mycompany.myproject</groupId>
    <artifactId>myproject-parent</artifactId>
    <version>1.0</version>
</parent>

<dependency>
    <groupId>${project.groupId}</groupId>
    <artifactId>myproject-api</artifactId>
    <version>1.1</version>          
</dependency>
