I was just thinking a bit about this. You're facing different problems
You won't be able all at once:
1. You could create the releases of the sub modules independently (first
You'd have to create a release of the parent, using 'mvn release:prepare
release:perform -N'). Problem: the dependencies in the other sub modules
wouldn't be updated to the new SNAPSHOT version of the released module.
2. You could release all modules together. Problems: You can only have
tags for the whole multi project, but You can't have separate tags for
each sub module (I think, but I can't verify this right now).
Furthermore You'd always have to release all the sub modules together,
but I'd assume that You'd rather like to release just one (or some) of
the sub modules at the same time.
BTW: You'd face the same (or similar) problems with other SCMs, too.
What about requesting a new feature/parameter for the
maven-release-plugin, e.g. 'releaseModule'. It could be configured the
same way like the command line option '--projects'. If the parameter is
not set, the plugin would create the release as it already does right
now, and otherwise it would only tag and release the specified module(s).
What do You (list members) think about this approach?
Kind regards, Marc
