[jboss-dev-forums] [Design of JBoss Build System] - Re: SVN Branching as Part of Build Process

[ALRubinger]

It's an optional step that isolates the codebase from forward-moving development changes, and (I find) eases the process of tagging Beta1, Beta2 without incrementing the version number (as Maven will prompt as a default).  

Mostly, it's a matter of developer preference; I happen to find branching an essential organizational step as tagging off trunk I find confusing.  I've been updating the Wiki page referenced in my original post as I employ this process for EJB3 External API and EJB3 Impl projects.  

This thread is precisely for this debate. :)
