Description

Having this in source pom.xml:

<version>${majorversion}.3.4-SNAPSHOT</version> 

meaning the major version is set via profile properties, but running the plugin with -DupdateWorkingCopyVersions=false still causes the version in pom.xml to be overridden with actual value (which is never "actual" as defined in profile property):

<profile>
  <id>java8</id>
  <properties>
    <majorversion>0.8</majorversion>
  </properties>
</profile>
<profile>
  <id>java11</id>
  <properties>
    <majorversion>0.9</majorversion>
  </properties>
</profile> 

The command I run:

 mvn -DdryRun=true -DcheckModificationExcludeList="pom.xml" -DupdateWorkingCopyVersions=false  release:prepare -P java11 

the diff:

can this plugin not touch the version if there are set flag "updateWorkingCopyVersions" to "false"?
