Update the release process to use maven plugins
-----------------------------------------------

                 Key: OPENJPA-633
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/OPENJPA-633
             Project: OpenJPA
          Issue Type: Improvement
            Reporter: Michael Dick
            Assignee: Michael Dick
             Fix For: 1.2.0


The release process for OpenJPA is currently quite long and involves a lot of 
manual steps. When we first entered the incubator this was required, however 
there are a lot of new plugins for Maven which may make all our lives easier. 

Ideally our release instructions would look more like Geronimo's : 
http://cwiki.apache.org/GMOxPMGT/geronimo-release-process.html which takes 
advantage of the maven release plugin and gpg plugins. 

Resolving this completely may take some time. In the meantime the old release 
process will work and can be used if we need to cut a new release.
