    Description

      Currently, when preparing the release, the version to release is always the next version which usually is the current version without the snapshot extension.
      There are quite a lot of projects (Apache Felix, Sling and others) following an even release numbering policy. So while the current development version is odd (like 1.2.3-SNAPSHOT), the next released version will be 1.2.4.
      It would be nice if this could be made configuration through some configuration property like
      <versionPolicy>next-even</versionPolicy> (with possible values being: next (default, as-is), next-even, next-odd

      I briefly scanned through the code and it seems that adding support for this requires changes in both, the release-manager and the release-plugin.

      If this feature gets accepted and if someone could give me some minor hints how/where to add this I could come up with a patch.
