ant elder commented on TUSCANY-2813:
------------------------------------

The latest release of the release plugin (2.0-beta-8) has some issues which 
make it difficult to get to work with the Tuscany SCA build.

One is the non standard SVN layout Tuscany uses has the branches folder in 
location which the plugin can't use. There's a Maven JIRA to add a branchBase 
config option which will fix this http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/MRELEASE-372. 
Alternatively we could change the SVN layout used by the SCA project to be the 
more standard trunk/branches/tags.

Another issue is when using SVN release 1.5.1 or later you get various failures 
about "file already exists" when the release plugin tries to check in changes. 
Sometimes you can recover from this by doing an "svn up" and re-running the 
release plugin command, sometimes you can't. There's a couple of JIRAs about 
that - http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/SCM-406, 
http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/SCM-262, 
http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/MRELEASE-427. They've just been closed but we 
need to wait for a new release of the release plugin to pick them up.

>From those I've not been able to get the release plugin to work to create a 
>release branch, so for SCA 2.0-M2 I'll create that manually. From the sandbox 
>testing i've done it may be possible to use the release plugin to create the 
>release once the branch has been created so i'll give that a try. 



> Use the Maven plugins to automate more of the release process
