release plugin with submodules

[Wo...@AtosOrigin.com]

Hi,

 

I am trying the release plugin on a project with sub-modules within
Eclipse. The project is named 'core' and the sub-module is
'plugin-setproperties'. I want to release only one sub-module, not the
whole project. I go into the sub-module project and execute
release:prepare. This works, sub-module is tagged in cvs and
release.properties is created. Then I execute release:perform which does
not work:

 

-          Cvs checks out the whole project, not only the tagged
sub-project. CVS checkout normally works in a way  that the directories
that do not belong to the tag are deleted at the end. This does not
happen

-          The deploy ends with an error saying a pom is missing. Maybe
there is missing a 'change directory' to go into the sub-module
directory?
