Description

Here is the project structure on the disk :

c:\javadev\prj\myproject\module1
c:\javadev\prj\myproject\module2
c:\javadev\prj\myproject\master

These 3 folders represent the 3 eclipse projects, each one containing a pom.xml.
The master project's pom is the parent of the modules.

When I execute the release:prepare goal, Everything works fine (it asks to me the tag name, the next dev version, ...) until I receive this error :

[INFO] Checking in modified POMs...
[INFO] ------------------------------------------------------------------------
[ERROR] BUILD ERROR
[INFO] ------------------------------------------------------------------------
[INFO] An error is occurred in the checkin process: C:\javadev\prj\myproject\module1\pom.xml was not contained in C:\javadev\prj\myproject\master

[INFO] ------------------------------------------------------------------------
[DEBUG] Trace
org.apache.maven.lifecycle.LifecycleExecutionException: An error is occurred in the checkin process: C:\javadev\prj\myproject\module1\pom.xml was not contained in C:\javadev\prj\myproject\master

	at org.apache.maven.lifecycle.DefaultLifecycleExecutor.executeStandaloneGoal(DefaultLifecycleExecutor.java:488)
	at org.apache.maven.lifecycle.DefaultLifecycleExecutor.executeGoal(DefaultLifecycleExecutor.java:458)
....

The problem is that the project structure is the only one that can be used with eclipse.
