[jira] Issue Comment Edited: (MRELEASE-252) Support for multi modules project

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

please note that not all SCMs support tagging of 'partial' trees of a SCM-module. e.g. for a Git repo a 'tag' always works on the whole repository and not on single files (in fact there is no such thing like a 'single file' for Git, but only diffs on the whole repository tree)

So you imho have to separate 4 different 'modularisation points'

1.) maven modules
2.) maven dependency structure (sometimes the maven modules do not represent the dependency structure, especially if more hierarchies are nested)
3.) file structure (how to handle 'flattened out' projects, or parent poms which reside in an own subdirectory?)
4.) SCM modules

Sadly, this is a really complex area...

> 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.
