----------------------------------------

Hi everyone,

Concerning this topic we finally decided to give up and align with the "everything is a component" layout, where 
1 SCM project(tag/trunk/branches) = 1 Maven project (1 pom of a component) and components become independent (no aggregator pom any more). 

While this was clearly not possible for us with the old dependency mechanism (everytime a project wasreleased, you had to update all demendencies in other projects), this is not the case any more thanks to the scoped dependencies: a project A can depend on version [1.2,1.3) of another project B so that releases of bug fixes in B (1.2.1, 1.2.2, ... 1.2.n) will not impact A.

> I would like to prepare a release for multi-modules project.
> I would create tags for all the modules and modify poms.
> Not only the versionId in the pom but also the eventual dependencies between all the modules.
> Indeed, if a module A has a dependency to module B, the version will be updated.
> The dependency management is a hard task in multi modules project and this feature would be really appreciated.
