With the maven-release-plugin, how to branch a module and its children ?

Hello

Say you have a module named "parent" which has 2 childs "childA" and "ChildB"

If I run 
mvn release:branch -DbranchName=my-branch
in the "parent" folder, it will branch the parent module code to SVN /branches/my-branch WITHOUT the 2 child modules.

I would like release:branch to branch the parent module and all its children to 
. /branches/my-branch/parent
. /branches/my-branch/childA
. /branches/my-branch/childB

I didn't found any solution in the doc yet:
. http://maven.apache.org/plugins/maven-release-plugin/branch-mojo.html
. http://maven.apache.org/plugins/maven-release-plugin/examples/branch.html

Is it feasible ? Or do I have to run the command for every module I want to branch ?

Any help would be appreciated, thanks

Fred

I guess you could make an aggregator pom in your trunk/ which kicks of
all 3 builds. If you branch this pom it would succeed.

Or you could move your parent pom one level higher and let it serve as
parent and aggregator pom.

Hello

Indeed, if the modules are structured hierarchically it works:

/trunk/parent
/trunk/parent/childA
/trunk/parent/childB

but you *must* ensure that SCM parameters are 100% correct.

i.e.: 

/trunk/parent/pom.xml

	<scm>
		<connection>scm:svn:https://svnserver:18080/svn/trunk</connection>
		<developerConnection>scm:svn:https://svnserver:18080/svn/trunk</developerConnection>
		<url>https://svnserver:18080/viewvc/trunk</url>
	</scm>

/trunk/parent/childA/pom.xml

	<scm>
		<connection>scm:svn:https://svnserver:18080/svn/trunk/childA</connection>
		<developerConnection>scm:svn:https://svnserver:18080/svn/trunk/childA</developerConnection>
		<url>https://svnserver:18080/viewvc/trunk/childA</url>
	</scm>

/trunk/parent/childB/pom.xml

	<scm>
		<connection>scm:svn:https://svnserver:18080/svn/trunk/childB</connection>
		<developerConnection>scm:svn:https://svnserver:18080/svn/trunk/childB</developerConnection>
		<url>https://svnserver:18080/viewvc/trunk/childB</url>
	</scm>

Then when you run the following command:
mvn release:branch -DbranchName=<branch name> -DupdateBranchVersions=true -DupdateWorkingCopyVersions=true -DreleaseVersion=<releaseVersion> -DdevelopmentVersion=<developmentVersion>

All modules are correctly branched to /branches/<branch name> with all versions and SCM properties automatically updated

Thank you for your tips.

Frederic

We run the branch command manually.
I've never tried getting the release plugin to do this for us.

And as Nick suggests, move your parent one directory higher.
While Maven allows a Flat structure, there are lots of hidden gotchas
because a Hierarchy is really implied internally.
Perhaps you are running into one of these.
