Yes. Imagine you have a release train to do for a product based on several projects with various versions. Your product is composed of 2 projects B which depends on A, both of them are in SNAPSHOT Either you release A, you update B to use A released version, and you release B Either you ask to release plugin to update B deps and release it. (For me the main problem is often that if you need to release each time all projects at the same time, probably it should be a unique project) --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: dev-unsubscr...@maven.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: dev-h...@maven.apache.org
