Thanks for the mention :-) The release plugin won't do it automatically, so
I need to configure it in some ways (an assembly descriptor for -docs, a new
profile for J4).

(Do we even want to keep running the J4 backport for 2.1? If so, we

The classifier will be "backport" instead of "j4", right? BTW, the
retrotranslator plugin for Maven 2 seems to be ok (I tried with Tiles 2), is
there a reason not to using it?


Another "sticky wicket" is that the current version number is embedded

Sorry, I cannot understand, the "index.xml" is already in the repository, so
we could edit, commit, and then release. Do you mean that the generated "
index.html" is replaced by the one with the same name under Confluence?

Ted, at this point I have a question: there are some issues to be fixed
before the release plugin could be used.
Do you want me to fix them, and then try to release the 2.1.0 version (but
it will take a while), or do you want to release 2.1.0 ASAP and fix these
issues later?
In the latter case, I think I will pass, and let Rainer do the release :-D

Thanks
Antonio
