Is it possible to release a child module that isn't listed in the parent's list of modules?

[laredotornado-3]

Hi,

I'm using Maven 3.0.3 and trying to use the Maven release plugin to do a
release of a child module, which inherits from a parent pom.  The parent has
been released but does not include the child in its module list, and won't
be able to in the short term.  Is it possible to do a release of the child
module?  Right now, I'm getting the errors …

        mvn -B -DdevelopmentVersion=52.0.0-SNAPSHOT -DreleaseVersion=52.0.0
-Dusername=laredotornado -Dtag=myproject-52.0.0 -DskipTests -P prod
-Dresume=false -DdryRun=true release:prepare
...
        [ERROR] Failed to execute goal

In my pom.xml file, I have the dependencies listed as such:

        <parent>
                <artifactId>subco</artifactId>
                <groupId>org.mainco.subco</groupId>
                <version>52.0.0-SNAPSHOT</version>
        </parent>
        ...
                <dependency>
                        <groupId>org.mainco.subco</groupId>
                        <artifactId>core</artifactId>
                        <version>${project.version}</version>
                </dependency>

I tried adding the dependencies to my pom.xml's dependencyManagement section
(and thus removed the <version> tag from above), but still got the same
error.
