I have run into what I think is an issue with our SVN repository configuration
as it relates, specifically, to the tagging that occurs during a maven release
Our SVN Repository is currently set up as a "multi-project"
SUITE
+ trunk
+ Master POM
+ Product 1
+ Product 2
+ tags
+ branches
Our Master POM has SCM set as follows:
<scm>
<url>https://svn.domain.com/SUITE/</url>
<connection>scm:svn:https://svn.domain.com/SUITE/trunk</connection>
<developerConnection>scm:svn:https://svn.DOMAIN.com/SUITE/trunk</developerConnection>
</scm>
When I perform a release on any of those products (or the Master POM) I get a
tag of the entire repository - so if I release everything at once I end up with
3 tags (master-pom-1.0.0, product-1-1.0.0 and product-2-1.0.0) and each tag has
tagged the full repository, rather than just the project. Obviously, this can
confuse things for people since they have (seemingly) 3 tags to choose from if
they want to branch.
I know that I can reconstruct my SVN repository so that it looks like this:
SUITE
+ Master POM
+ trunk
+ tags
+ branches
+ Product 1
+ trunk
+ tags
+ branches
+ Product 2
+ trunk
+ tags
+ branches
And then set my <scm> tag within each projects POM to point to the correct
location(s) - this will result in Maven only producing a tag on the specific
project being released
My question is this - is there a way other than having to dump, filter and
import my whole repo to get maven to do what I want (i.e. a tag with only the
Product being released in it)?
Thanks
