I've wondered about this, too. I think there are benefits to the modular design even if the version numbers are kept in sync -- in fact, I think keeping the version numbers in sync makes it easier for users to decide what bits they need, since the decision is based only on required functionality, and not on transitive dependency concerns.
When you say that Eclipse can't handle the nested structure, do you mean the maven2 plugin? On 3/14/07, Howard Lewis Ship <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote:
This is more compatible with Eclipse; Eclipse can't handle a nested project structure. In addition, I expect that the release numbers of some of the sub-projects will "decouple". That is, tapestry-spring may become stable at, say, 5.0.4 and we'll leave it alone as we rev tapestry-core up to, say, 5.0.9. Anyway, that's the theory. The practice is looking a little different, because of JIRA. Having just TAPESTRY as the issue tracker key limits the ability to meaningfully track version numbers across the components (such as tapestry-core). One option would be to start creating sub-projects within the Tapestry category (currently, there's just the TAPESTRY project), so that each could track its bugs itself. Another option would be to re-organize it, as you mentioned, with tapestry5/trunk/tapestry-xxx and tapestry/tags/tapestry-xxx ... that would certainly make things easier when creating a new release (much less tagging!). SVN does let us change our mind after the fact, to a large degree.
