We've previously discussed and I think agreed that the documented
release process is seriously out of date with the current
capabilities of maven.
I'm proposing we update the documented release process to rely
primarily on the maven-release-plugin.
I've written this up here:

28updated%29+release+process
The current official documentation is here:
http://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/GMOxPMGT/Release+Branching
+Process
As noted in another email I think I've solved the "wrong tags
location" problem by modifying genesis and including a release profile.
Please take a look and propose updates. I'll call a vote on this
shortly.
thanks
