Description

When I try to run release:prepare in batch mode, I get the error below (can't parse version string) even though I supply the version number by argument. If I do the same thing with the same versions in interactive mode, it works fine.

Here is the output:

C:\workspaces\head\MyClient>mvn -B -e -Dresume=false -Dtag=PPX -DdevelopmentVersion=MYB_200909-SNAPSHOT -DreleaseVersion=PPX release:prepare release:perform

• is duplicated by: MRELEASE-570 update-versions is picky about parsing versions
• is related to: MRELEASE-398 release:prepare: endlessly asking for the next development version on a multi-module project when not entering the expected value
