Description

I would like to use release:update-versions to explicitly update the versions of my multiproject. Unfortunetly the release plugin converts the given developmentVersion to a SNAPSHOT version. It happens in MapVersionPhase.getNextVersion().

I would expect the plugin to leave the given developmentVersion property as it is, because the prompt version will not be converted. Here is my command line:

mvn release:update-versions -DautoVersionSubmodules=true -DdevelopmentVersion=2.0.1 -DpushChanges=false

I made a patch and attached it to the issue.
