I was surprised now you changed to think in this way, actually you said branch is cheap in git and we should use new branches for features. If you remembered, in previous discussion before, I suggested we use trunk for development, and cutting separate branch for RC2 release.

It maybe works but still depends on the fact that there're only new codes that reside in the separate new module, no new codes and no modification codes into existing modules. >> you have to reimport the full project everytime you switch Yeah, I felt some inconvenience. I used a work around, how about two working copies.

Even if it's a brand new piece of code, I don't see why it should be seggregated to a branch, instead of being part of the trunk. Being in trunk does not mean you have to build it with the other modules (enough to comment it in the main pom), but having it in a branch froces the developers to switch to the branches to build it. Having it in a branch makes it painful because even if it's easy to switch from trunk to branch and back, it's not the same story when it comes to teh IDE integration (basically, you have to reimport the full project everytime you switch).
