How to release Hotfix with maven release plugin

I'm using the Maven release plugin to do my releases. But I can't figure out how to get it to do a Hotfix release. I'm getting the error You don't have a SNAPSHOT project in the reactor projects list. -> [Help 1]

The naming strategy I'm using is something like this (but I'm open to suggestions)

I'm open to suggestions on the naming convention for Hotfixes.

But basically, we have version 1.2.3, which has already been released. I need to create a Hotfix, which I wanted to call 1.2.3-1. That's when I got the error complaining about not having a SNAPSHOT project.

Another issue is that I want to make sure that I don't create a new development release. Since version 1.2.3 was already released, I already have a 1.2.4-SNAPSHOT. So when creating a Hotfix, it shouldn't need to make any changes for development. I just want to create a branch (based on the 1.2.3 tag) for the Hotfix

You don't have a SNAPSHOT project in the reactor projects list.

check your other model which hasn't depend the model 1.2.3-SNAPSHOT

You should have a SNAPSHOT version currently defined in the POM to use maven release plugin.

In your case, I would:

  • checkout the tag 1.2.3, create a new branch..
  • update pom with version 1.2.3-1-SNAPSHOT
  • use maven release plugin to release a 1.2.3-1 version
