Is there a way to use the release plugin without invoking the SCM activities? (I'm using SVN)
The release plugin doesn't seem to be compatible with my project's branching strategy for a number of reasons: 1) It seems to always want to release from the trunk. Sometimes we need to release from branches. 2.) Releasing a non-module nested component doesn't work. Say I have a project in myproject/reports, and I just want to release reports. I'm getting the error 'myproject/tags/reports-1.0' doesn't exist. I would be happy just using the deploy goal directly, but I can't because I need to change the version of the project throughout multiple POMs. Any ideas?
