Externals are fine for convenience like 'trunks' or 'current' to check out several things together, but they will cause trouble when you try to tag a release. Since they are just properties on a directory, they don't magically get updated when you tag. Definitely not recommended, at least when releasing with Maven. The best way to do this is to have everything together in Subversion in a directory structure that matches the Maven parent-and-child module structure. (That doesn't mean that it has to be like this forever though. If the mythical Struts 3 appears and xwork needs to be separate... then we move it.) -- Wendy --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: dev-unsubscr...@struts.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: dev-h...@struts.apache.org
