Not necessarily. If that "parent" (in the directory with the svn
externals) is only there as an aggregator for convenience, it never
needs to be released.
I didn't involve the svn:externals idea into my thoughts, because it
would only work if the modules don't inherit from the parent. In most
multi-module projects (I've seen), modules do inherit parent
configurations. I You want to release a sub module, the release plugin
requests the parent to be released first - which might be achieved using
'mvn release:prepare release:perform -N'.
The projects themselves could have some other parent, like a corporate
level parent pom that controls versions, etc.
A project can only declare one<parent> but it's not 1:1.
You're right, but Maven discourages this:
[WARNING]
[WARNING] Some problems were encountered while building the effective
model for test:my-sub-module:jar:1.0-SNAPSHOT
[WARNING] 'parent.relativePath' points at test:my-parent instead of
test:another-parent, please verify your project structure @ line 11,
column 11
[WARNING]
[WARNING] It is highly recommended to fix these problems because they
threaten the stability of your build.
[WARNING]
[WARNING] For this reason, future Maven versions might no longer support
building such malformed projects.
