Hi Stevo,
Thanks but I think the existing release plugin documentation covers
everything in those articles quite well. Neither one tells me what to
expect to happen in svn when I run one of the goals. I guess
-DdryRun=true
is supposed to print the svn commands to be used on the console but
they are in my experience very hard to find and I don't think this is
applicable to anything but release:prepare.
I'd also like to request that the meaning of release:clean be
explained.... what exactly is changed?
thanks

After some experimentation I think I know what happens for some of
these:
release:prepare makes 3 svn commits
- update current project to release version
- create tag (from what? I have no idea)
- update current project to next development version
release:rollback, in an indeterminate number of commits, undoes
anything
committed since release:prepare was run for the first time in this
release
attempt. In particular if you tried to commit build fixes that
only became
evident during release:prepare, they will get undone.
release:perform makes no svn changes
release:branch I have no idea about.
I suspect it would take about 15 minutes for one of the authors to
update
the docs with some accurate info along these lines and I doubt I
would be
the only one appreciating the effort.
thanks
