title: Maven release plugin - SNAPSHOT project needed
body: <p>I am using the M2 release plugin from within <strong>Jenkins</strong> which calls the <strong>maven-release-plugin 2.3.2</strong> internally and while building throws this error : <strong><code>You don't have a SNAPSHOT project in the reactor projects list</code></strong>. Problem is , my projects poms <strong>do</strong> have their version as 1.0.0-SNAPSHOT. What am I missing ?</p>
  
  <p><code>com.abc.def</code> is the <code>company parent POM</code> , and I am just doing for <code>mvn release</code> for <code>utils</code></p>
  
  <pre><code>&lt;modelVersion&gt;4.0.0&lt;/modelVersion&gt;
  
      &lt;parent&gt;
          &lt;groupId&gt;com.abc&lt;/groupId&gt;
          &lt;artifactId&gt;def&lt;/artifactId&gt;
          &lt;version&gt;1.0.0&lt;/version&gt;
      &lt;/parent&gt;
  
      &lt;groupId&gt;com.abc.def&lt;/groupId&gt;
      &lt;artifactId&gt;utils&lt;/artifactId&gt;
      &lt;version&gt;1.0.0-SNAPSHOT&lt;/version&gt;
      &lt;packaging&gt;pom&lt;/packaging&gt;
      &lt;name&gt;utils&lt;/name&gt;
  </code></pre>

  <p>And yes, I have done my basic Google + SO trawl and everywhere it points that my POMs should be having SNAPSHOT as the version , which is already there. Except that my company parent POM is not snapshot. Could that be the reason ?</p>
