Maven release: next development version in batch mode

Question

I have configured a Jenkins job to release my maven project automatically. This is done by using the following: mvn --batch-mode clean release:prepare release:perform

Answer 1

As suggested it Khmarbaise, I also think that there is no solution to your problem.

Is there any rule, that can automatically tell you if you must change the second or the third number ? Indeed, I don't think so. Saying that, you can't ask Maven / Jenkins to choose it for you, one time major version digit, the other minor version digit.

You must change it via a parameter, or let user configure it via the Jenkins M2 Release plugin, as suggested by willome. It can only be a manual action.
