[MRELEASE-935] Support for expression in 'version' tag

• Type: New Feature

Description

The release plugin doesn't support a version value that points to a property which define the version.

Everytime I use the plugin, the version in the current POM loose the expression. Maybe it could work using the property to which it points?

$ grep '<version>' pom.xml
<version>${parent.project.version}</version>

$ grep '<parent.project.version>' pom.xml
<parent.project.version>0.0.1-SNAPSHOT</parent.project.version>

Could you please implement this or point me to the files that handle this?
