Description

What I mean by flat file structure firstly.

parent/pom.xml
module1/pom.xml
module2/pom.xml
.
.
.
module15/pom.xml

the parent references the modules like so

<modules>
<module>../module1</module>
<module>../module2</module>
.
.
.
<module>../module15</module>
</modules>

When i release:prepare only the parent project is tagged the modules projects versions are incremented etc but the modules are not tagged in svn.

I use this structure as i use eclipse as my IDE.

I would love to see a fix for the issue marked as closed here http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/MRELEASE-138. I am currenrly tagging by hand each submodule of the projects but it would be so nice to have the release plugin do this for me.

forgive my english.
