Maven release from a branch by jenkins

I have to perform a maven release from branch with Jenkis and tag the RELEASE.At the same time, i need to update the version (new SNAPSHOT) on trunk.

For Example:

/trunk contains Module_1.0.0-SNAPSHOT

/branches/Module_1.0.0-SNAPSHOT

After Perform Maven Release on /branches/Module_1.0.0-SNAPSHOT

/trunk contains Module_1.0.1-SNAPSHOT

/tag/Module_1.0.0-RELEASE

Setting maven-release-plugin and scm (url, connection, developerConnection), /tag/Module_1.0.0-RELEASE and new version on branch go right way.

But, even with developerConnection pointing to trunk doesn't udpate the version on trunk.

How could I achieve that? thank's in advance.

If you run the Maven release plugin on your branch (/branches/Module_1.0.0-SNAPSHOT), it will:

  • Update the version number on this branch (1.0.0-SNAPSHOT --> 1.0.0)
  • Apply a tag on this branch (tag/1.0.0 or something like that)
  • Move your branch to 1.0.1-SNAPSHOT

Even if you set the developerConnection property, the Maven release plugin will not update the version number of your trunk branch.

If you want to increase the version number on the trunk, you have to release from the trunk (or release from the branch + merge your branch to your trunk).
