Re: [tycho-user] Tycho versus the maven-release-plugin

[motes motes <mort.motes@xxxxxxxxx>]

Thanks for the suggestion! So far I will stick with the strategy where
all sub projects have the same version as the parent. If some sub
projects becomes significantly less 'active' than other sub projects
they are move to a separate project with a new parent.
