Expose modified project version as properties

[jycr]

I would like to customize commit message as follow :

    <commitMessages>
        <hotfixStartMessage>update versions for hotfix: ${project.version}</hotfixStartMessage>
        <hotfixFinishMessage>update for next development version: ${project.version}</hotfixFinishMessage>
        
        <releaseStartMessage>update versions for release: ${project.version}</releaseStartMessage>
        <releaseFinishMessage>update for next development version: ${project.version}</releaseFinishMessage>
        
        <tagHotfixMessage>tag hotfix: ${project.version}</tagHotfixMessage>
        <tagReleaseMessage>tag release: ${project.version}</tagReleaseMessage>
    </commitMessages>

But, as described in documentation:

${project.version} can be used any changes to version introduced by this goal won't be reflected in a commit message for this goal.

So: how can I put information on commit message about version?

I suppose that custom pattern can be introduced (e.g. {{version}}) to be string replaced in the appropriate goals.

Good idea.

Another proposal : add a Maven property :

• gitflow.nextVersion

NB : The default value of this property could be X.Y.(Z+1)-SNAPSHOT and can also be customize when user launch mvn command with -Dgitflow.nextVersion= ... (see issue #42 )

How do you set the default value to be X.Y.(Z+1)-SNAPSHOT before running a goal?

From the next release @{version} can be used.
