I have never seen a documentation for ship-maven-plugin. It could be a good motivation for us.
I can say for myself, my requirements are to the new lifecycle and plugin goal release:release: 1. executes phases from clean to deploy 2. installation of "release" artifacts is skipped (snapshots are not skipped) 3. unit and integration tests are executed only once and not two times Tagging and SCM checkout are just fine. Second lifecycle for release without scm checkout and deployment. The test would be executed once, tagging and both commit messages are the must. WDYT? How you would like to see the release lifecysle? Notice that we should not say how the project should look like in the customer. The customer may have reasons to use his project structures as they are and the architecture too. So we should NOT define these structures!
