Dennis,

So I guess you're saying that it's impossible for the release plugin to support 
the following SVN structure (or there are no future plans to support it)?

{noformat}
svnroot
|
+--release-parent/trunk/pom.xml
|
+--release-module1/trunk/pom.xml
|
+--release-module1/trunk/pom.xml
{noformat}

The reason I ask is I am often brought on client/projects LONG after their SVN 
repos are setup and whether or not they can use the release plugin (especially 
for large projects) would be a big determinator for me in a Maven 
recommendation.  Trust me, I'd prefer if clients could/would reposition their 
SVN repo and existing projects so multi-module builds "just worked".

It sounds like the definition of a flat structure in this particular test case 
is all projects "flattened" behind a single trunk/branch/tag.  My use case are 
the projects are flattened at the SVN root level, but each have their own 
trunk/branches/tags.  It seems as though my use case is a hybrid of the typical 
maven setup and the flattened use case you have provided.

> parent/pom.xml
> module1/pom.xml
> module2/pom.xml
> .
> .
> .
> module15/pom.xml
> the parent references the modules like so
> <modules>
>               <module>../module1</module>
>               <module>../module2</module>
> .

> .
>               <module>../module15</module>
> </modules>
> When i  release:prepare only the parent project is tagged the modules 
> projects versions are incremented etc but the modules are not tagged in svn.
> I use this structure as i use eclipse as my IDE.
> I would love to see a fix for the issue marked as closed here 
> http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/MRELEASE-138. I am currenrly tagging by hand 
> each submodule of the projects but it would be so nice to have the release 
> plugin do this for me.
> forgive my english.
