Using release plugin with multi-module project

[Michael Remijan <mj...@yahoo.com>]

I'm trying to use the release plugin for the first time on a multi-module project.  Given that my project looks like this:

/Parent
    /Project-A
    /Project-B (had a dependency on Project-A)

the problem I'm having is when the release plugin goes to build Project-B it fails with an error saying it can't find Project-A.  The release plugin will successfully take the version of Project-A and remove the "-SNAPSHOT" so that's OK.  Also, the release plugin will successfully alter the pom of Project-B and remove the "-SNAPSHOT" on the dependency to Project-A.  However Project-B still can't find Project-A when it the release plugin tries to build it.

Suggestions?
