Description

This feature makes it possible to configure the incrementation process in batch-mode.
As default the release plugin increments the patch-level digit and adds -SNAPSHOT after a release has been executed. e,g
1.3.3-SNAPSHOT --> 1.3.3 --> 1.3.4-SNAPSHOT

With the following feature, the user will be allowed by setting a property in the release:prepare goal to change this behavior
-DdevVersionIncrementation=2
1.3.3-SNAPSHOT --> 1.3.3 --> 1.4.0-SNAPSHOT
or (-DdevVersionIncrementation=1)
1.3.3-SNAPSHOT --> 1.3.3 --> 2.0.0-SNAPSHOT
the default value is -DdevVersionIncrementation=3 and will increment the patch-level digit as usual.

In the attachment you'll find a patch for the fully implemented feature, I'd very thankful if someone could insert it into the next version.
