mvn release:perform automatically specify scm tag that includes release version

Question

I would like to setup my maven release to run in batch mode, but I'm not a fan of the default scm tag ${artifactId}-${releaseVersion}. Instead, I'd like to simply tag it with ${releaseVersion}; however, I'm unclear if such a property exists (ie. without the -SNAPSHOT suffix).

I'd like the configuration to resemble the code below. Is such a default tagging possible with the maven-release-plugin?

 <groupId>org.apache.maven.plugins</groupId>
        <artifactId>maven-release-plugin</artifactId>
        <version>2.0</version>
        <configuration>
          <tag>${releaseVersion}</tag>
        </configuration>
      </plugin>

Answer 1

try this:

<configuration>
     <tag>${project.version}</tag>
</configuration>
