The tagNameFormat property is not applied in the Maven release plugin

Question

I use the "tagNameFormat" configuration property in the Maven Release plugin to use only the project version as a tag, but this does not seem to have any effect. When I launch the mvn release: the preparation of the proposed tag is still in the form {artifactId} - {version}.

My configuration is as follows:

<plugin> <artifactId>maven-release-plugin</artifactId> <configuration> <tagBase>https://as3-commons.googlecode.com/svn/tags/parent-pom</tagBase> <tagNameFormat>@{project.version}</tagNameFormat> <goals>deploy</goals> </configuration> </plugin> 

Did I miss something?

Answer 1

Works for me with the latest maven (3.0.4) and 2.2.2 maven release plugins on mercury storage.

Fragment below

 <plugin> <groupId>org.apache.maven.plugins</groupId> <artifactId>maven-release-plugin</artifactId> <version>2.2.2</version> <configuration> <tagNameFormat>@{project.version}</tagNameFormat> </configuration> </plugin>
