fyi. We should probably do our releases through a staged process too. This allows: 1) giving binaries to people so that they can test 2) voting on something tangible and not on sources which can be modified before they're really released 3) ability to rollback a release if something is found faulty during the release -Vincent Begin forwarded message:

The Maven team is pleased to announce the first release of the Maven Stage Plugin, version 1.0-alpha-1.

http://maven.apache.org/plugins/maven-stage-plugin/

This plugin assists with staging and promoting releases by allowing you to copy artifacts from one repository to another. It currently supports copying from http|https to scp urls.

You can run 'mvn -up stage:copy ... ' to get the latest version of the plugin.

(Nothing was closed in JIRA for this initial release, so there are no release notes.)

Enjoy, -- Wendy Smoak on behalf of the Maven team
