that's true, but each of the modules under tags will have to be built
separately. Under trunk we have

trunk
├── application
├── blueprint
├── eba-maven-plugin
├── jmx
├── jndi
├── jpa
├── parent
├── samples
├── samples-sandbox
├── spi-fly
├── subsystem
├── target
├── testsupport
├── transaction
├── tutorials
├── util
└── web

Under tags we have:

tags
├── application-0.1-incubating
├── blueprint-0.1-incubating
├── eba-maven-plugin-0.1-incubating
├── jmx-0.1-incubating
├── jndi-0.1-incubating
├── jpa-0.1-incubating
├── org.apache.aries.util-0.1-incubating
├── parent-0.1-incubating
├── samples-0.1-incubating
├── testsupport-0.1-incubating
├── transaction-0.1-incubating
└── web-0.1-incubating

without the convenience of the top level pom.
