 * Prepare the release tag
     
     To prepare the release Subversion tag, check out the branch/trunk from 
where
     you are preparing the release and type:
     
-
         mvn release:prepare -Dusername=YOUR_SVN_USER 
-Dpassword=YOUR_SVN_PASSWORD
     
     The plugin interactively will ask you the version to release, the 
Subversion tag to use and the next snapshot version. It is reccomended to use 
the tag: `velocity-engine-parent-X.X.X` (the default).
