It depends... if your build is reliable and never fails... if all your components always have the same version number... if all your modules are in the same tree... then yes the the release plugin will sort it out for you.
however, if you have a long flakey build (we have one that is about 4 hours and fails during release if you look at it sideways) what we do with that build is release the reliable bits first, and then the unreliable modules separately... this can (and does) result in different build numbers for each module, but that's ok. -Stephen 2009/4/22 Michael Hüttermann <[email protected]> > starting at lowest dependencies and work the way ... having a pretty big > build system this sounds like a nightmare.
