Eric Miles commented on MRELEASE-261: ------------------------------------- Dennis, So I guess you're saying that it's impossible for the release plugin to support the following SVN structure (or there are no future plans to support it)? {noformat} svnroot | +--release-parent/trunk/pom.xml | +--release-module1/trunk/pom.xml | +--release-module1/trunk/pom.xml {noformat} The reason I ask is I am often brought on client/projects LONG after their SVN repos are setup and whether or not they can use the release plugin (especially for large projects) would be a big determinator for me in a Maven recommendation. Trust me, I'd prefer if clients could/would reposition their SVN repo and existing projects so multi-module builds "just worked". > release:prepare should support flat directory multi-module projects > ------------------------------------------------------------------- > > Key: MRELEASE-261 > URL: http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/MRELEASE-261 > Project: Maven 2.x Release Plugin > Issue Type: Improvement > Components: prepare > Environment: linux / maven2 / svn > Reporter: paul.whe...@gmail.com > Assignee: Maria Odea Ching > Fix For: 2.0 > > Attachments: flatProject.main.patch, flatProject.test.patch, > maven-release-issue.tar.gz, maven-release-issue.zip, > MRELEASE-261-sample-project.zip, MRELEASE-261-with-its-v3.patch, > MRELEASE-261-with-its.patch, MRELEASE-261.patch, odd-tags.png, > PrepareReleaseMojo.patch > > > What I mean by flat file structure firstly. > parent/pom.xml > module1/pom.xml > module2/pom.xml > . > . > . > module15/pom.xml > the parent references the modules like so > <modules> > <module>../module1</module> > <module>../module2</module> > . > . > . > <module>../module15</module> > </modules> > When i release:prepare only the parent project is tagged the modules > projects versions are incremented etc but the modules are not tagged in svn. > I use this structure as i use eclipse as my IDE. > I would love to see a fix for the issue marked as closed here > http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/MRELEASE-138.
