release:update-versions only for development versions?

[prenaud76]

The update-versions goal of the maven-release-plugin:2.0 is driving me nuts!
No matter what I do it keeps adding a -SNAPSHOT to the version I specify on
the command line, which leads me to believe the goal is intended to be used
only for development versions and not for release versions.


I want to use the plugin as part of an automated process, not interactively.
Something like this:


% mvn -B release:update-versions -DautoVersionSubmodules=true
-DdevelopmentVersion=1.0.0


Sadly, the resulting POMs end up with version 1.0.0-SNAPSHOT instead of
1.0.0, as desired. Does it mean that my only resort is to use the
versions-maven-plugin instead?
