Full name:

org.codehaus.mojo:versions-maven-plugin:2.16.2:use-releases

Description:

Replaces any -SNAPSHOT versions with the corresponding release version (if it has been released).

Attributes:

  • Requires a Maven project to be executed.
  • The goal is thread-safe and supports parallel builds.
  • Since version: 1.0-alpha-3.

Optional Parameters

Name Type Since Description
<allowRangeMatching> boolean 2.3

When set to true, will use the highest found release version matching a string starting with the current version string without -SNAPSHOT.

For example, if the current version is 1.1-SNAPSHOT, will match all versions starting with 1.1, i.e. 1.1, 1.1.1, 1.1.2, 1.1.3.1, etc., and will select the highest found version, i.e. 1.1.3.1.


Default value is: false.
User property is: allowRangeMatching.
<allowSnapshots> boolean 1.0-alpha-1 Whether to allow snapshots when searching for the latest version of an artifact.
Default value is: false.
User property is: allowSnapshots.
<changeRecorderFormat> String 2.11 The format used to record changes. If "none" is specified, no changes are recorded.
Default value is: none.
User property is: changeRecorderFormat.
<changeRecorderOutputFile> File 2.11 The output file used to record changes.
Default value is: ${project.build.directory}/versions-changes.xml.
User property is: changeRecorderOutputFile.
<excludeReactor> boolean 1.0-alpha-3 Whether to skip processing dependencies that are produced as part of the current reactor.
Default value is: true.
User property is: excludeReactor.
<excludes> String[] 1.0-beta-1 A list of artifact patterns to exclude. Follows the pattern "groupId:artifactId:type:classifier:version". This configuration setting is ignored if excludesList is defined.
<excludesList> String 1.0-beta-1 A comma separated list of artifact patterns to exclude. Follows the pattern "groupId:artifactId:type:classifier:version". Designed to allow specifying the set of excludes from the command line. When specifying excludes from the pom, use the excludes configuration instead. If this property is specified then the excludes configuration is ignored.
User property is: excludes.

Allows specifying ignored versions directly as an alternative to providing the ruleSet parameter; mainly created for -D property usage.

Example: "1\.0\.1,.+-M.,.*-SNAPSHOT"

Currently, this parameter will override the defined ruleSet


User property is: maven.version.ignore.
