Description

This builds on the patch in MRELEASE-583, where the user is prompted for the release version of snapshot dependencies.

However, when the snapshot dependency to be resolved is the parent artifact of the project being released, the version supplied by the user is not used in the transformed release version of the pom.

For example, I want to release the following:

<project>
  <groupId>org.dataconservancy</groupId>
  <artifactId>project-pom</artifactId>
  <version>1.0.0-SNAPSHOT</version>

  <parent>
    <groupId>org.dataconservancy</groupId>
    <artifactId>parent-pom</artifactId>
    <version>1.0.0-SNAPSHOT</version>
  </parent>

  ...
</project>

If I have MRELEASE-583 applied, I go through the snapshot resolution dialog:

There are still some remaining snapshot dependencies.: Do you want to resolve them now? (yes/no) no: : yes
Dependency type to resolve,: specify the selection number ( 0:All 1:Project Dependencies 2:Plugins 3:Reports 4:Extensions ): (0/1/2/3) 1: : 
Resolve Project Dependency Snapshots.: 'org.dataconservancy:parent-pom' set to release? (yes/no) yes: : yes
What is the release version? 1.0.0: : 1.0.0-test

The resulting release pom doesn't use 1.0.0-test as the parent version. It uses 1.0.0:

<project>
  <groupId>org.dataconservancy</groupId>
  <artifactId>project-pom</artifactId>
  <version>1.0.0-test</version>

  <parent>
    <groupId>org.dataconservancy</groupId>
    <artifactId>parent-pom</artifactId>
    <version>1.0.0</version>
  </parent>

  ...
</project>
