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

It looks like this is not possible until one of these bugs is fixed:

• MRELEASE-150: Can't add prefix to tags without affecting version (not scheduled)
• MRELEASE-159: Support a pattern to generate the release tag (scheduled for 2.2)
• MRELEASE-259: Provide a configuration settings for default tag/label to use when releasing (not scheduled)
