So there is a circular dependencies between mc and aop at least in terms of how the mc is now setup as an assembly type of project. If I try to release jboss-container, it depends on the parent jboss-microcontainer from build/pom.xml and does not have a container/{trunk,tags} structure for an individual release. aop depends on jboss-container. I can manually release jboss-container, but how should these projects bet setup so that the mvn release process works for such interdependent projects?
