I thought we needed to have a fix in the assembly plugin to be able to
release with ASF rules.If we can do it with just some local changes in our
pom, we have to do it.

However I agree with Barry and we cannot loose too many time to do the
release.
Is there someone who can help us to setup the eclipse plugin build to follow
ASF requirements for the release ?
