Hi Piotr, let me clarify ... the in total 3 step would work in its final implementation. Right now it's 3 for the compiler, 5 for the typedefs and 5 for the framework.
Just to set the expectations right ... but that's a total of 13 steps and not a total of 13 partially automated and even more manual steps.

Chris, What do you mean by "cleaning up the maven plugin" ? Why do you wanted to do this before I have tried your way of releasing SDK ? How it influence whole process ? What if we reject putting together repository in 1 - Does your cleaning up change something - that you will have to revert later ?
