Robert Scholte commented on MRELEASE-653: ----------------------------------------- I have my doubts about this patch. This implementation won't work for flat multi-modules projects. Also, I don't think that nesting the release-plugin (that's what is actually happening here) is a good idea. IMO you should use the [maven-invoker-plugin|http://maven.apache.org/plugins/maven-invoker-plugin/] to fork a new Maven-call for the branch. > Filter reactor projects that are concerned by a submodule branch operation > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- > > Key: MRELEASE-653 > URL: https://jira.codehaus.org/browse/MRELEASE-653 > Project: Maven 2.x Release Plugin > Issue Type: Bug > Components: branch > Affects Versions: 2.1 > Reporter: Lucien Weller > Attachments: filter-modules.patch > > > We have the requirement to create a separate branch of one submodule when > releasing the entire project.
