The Apache Maven team is pleased to announce the release of the Apache
Maven Release Plugin, version 2.5.2
This plugin is used to release a project with Maven, saving a lot of
repetitive, manual work. Releasing a project is made in two steps: prepare
and perform.
http://maven.apache.org/maven-release/maven-release-plugin/
You should specify the version in your project's plugin configuration:
<plugin>
<groupId>org.apache.maven.plugins</groupId>
<artifactId>maven-release-plugin</artifactId>
<version>2.5.2</version>
</plugin>
NOTE: This version contains an important fix for Maven 3.3.1+ users on
Windows (see MRELEASE-902)
