Fix invalid project, flatten module should adjust relativePath Verify update-versions and rollback without ReflectionUtils Move unittests to proper unit replace whitebox usage Remove all reflection calls in tests Use latest surefire Remove unwanted writes to stderr during unittests Make project Java 9-proof Clean up failsafe IT Clean up file copy with Path power Directories should not start with a slash, in some cases there can be resolved as absolute paths Proper usage of createReactorProjects( String sourcePath, String targetPath, String executionRoot ) Separate test project preparation from execution Fix relativePath With Maven3+ distributionManagement.status not allowed in effective pom Prepare pathTranslator replacement with SuperPomProvider Make org.eclipse.aether:aether-util optional, so maven-artifact-transfer can work with Maven 3.0 too. Unittests expect expression for finalName, ITs expect explicit value. Let's make it explicit for both Add missing remote extension artifact Clone incorrectly set project.reporting.excludeDefaults from null to Boolean.FALSE [MRELEASE-994] Drop Maven2 support Upgrade mavenVersion dependencies to 3.0 (cleanup maven dependencies) GenerateReleasePomsPhase, replace deprecated PathTranslator with SuperPomProvider and ModelInterpolator JDomReporting, delete removed overridden methods PlexusJUnit4TestCase, use code from org.sonatype.sisu:sisu-inject-plexus AbstractReleaseTestCase, replace deprecated MavenProjectBuilder with ProjectBuilder AbstractRewritingReleasePhaseTestCase, ignore internal extension based tests, not supported anymore DefaultVersionInfoTest, adjust tests due to new comparison results Add dummy org.codehaus.plexus:plexus-utils:1.1, required due to auto injection by org.apache.maven.plugin.internal.PlexusUtilsInjector Code cleanup, no implementation changes Use try-with-resources Remove unnecessary @SuppressWarnings( "unchecked" ) Clean up code, no implementation changes Clean up code, no implementation changes Ensure all Maps in ReleaseDescriptor have proper generics OddEvenVersionPolicy should not depend on maven-release-manager Remove all overloaded methods from ReleaseManager, only use Release<Goal>Request simplify code, replace iterators with foreach loops [MRELEASE-956] Release Strategy Interface [MRELEASE-992] Deprecated maven flag --no-plugin-updates shows warnings in the console output Replace ROLE name with class Apply multi-catch Remove more deprecated/overloaded methods Don't reask resolve questions in case of multimodule projects No need for reflection anymore Fix mocking/stubbing tests [MRELEASE-601] The Maven 2 release plugin modifies CDATA elements in pom.xml files. [MRELEASE-998] Add ability to create custom phases Copy javadoc Add unittest for DefaultVersionPolicy Reorganize if/then/else -statements to reduce nesting [MRELEASE-694] -SNAPSHOT is unexpectedly appended to version in branched pom.xml Pull up commonBasedir Move AbstractReleasePhase to maven-release-api releaseDescriptor.getOriginalScmInfo( projectId ) is checked twice, so 1 can be removed.
