Description

I don't see any solution how to execute plugins before question like "What is the release version for" appears.

Current "preparationGoals" are executed later.
Also command line sequence like mvn plugin:task... release:prepare do not help.

I suppose that many users would like to manage project.version before questions are displayed.

In my example i tried to run buildnumber-maven-plugin or maven-scm-plugin to retrieve last ${buildNumber} or ${scm.revision} . This number I would like use in final release number. Plugins under release are not executed.

BTW.
release:prepare execute scm (svn) so it also could return revision status in standard variable named ${scm.revision}
