Description

The Maven Release Plugin asks whether -SNAPSHOT dependencies shall be replaced by dependencies, and when answered with "yes" it suggests the release and new development versions. This is great and works well in many cases.

Unfortunately, when using automations like Jenkins etc., this feature cannot be used, as apparently that "yes, please apply all your suggestions but don't ask me anything" answer can only be given in interactive mode, while there is no property which would enable the same behaviour in nin-interactive mode.

Hence, I wish there would be a parameter (like "alwaysApplyDefaults" which defaults to "false" for backwards compatibility) which, when set to "true" explicitly, just answers "yes" to all questions and suggestions.
