How to customise the tag format of the Maven release plugin?

Question

In our SVN repo, we store tags like this:

trunk
    project_a
    project_b
branches
    project_a
        branch_x
        branch_y
    project_b
tags
    proje         


        

Answer 1

The release plugin now supports the tagNameFormat configuration option, which defaults to @{project.artifactId}-@{project.version}. In your case, you could do something like:

    org.apache.maven.plugins
    maven-release-plugin
    2.3.2
    
        @{project.artifactId}/@{project.version}
