I'm not moving it to a plugin, I was going to move it to a profile. I
was testing a simple change (you can see below). Basically, 'mvn clean
install' will build everything and install it all into your ~/.m2/repo
But, if you do 'mvn -Pall,assembly clean install' it will also build the zips.
The problem Wendy is that, right now, if you do a 'mvn clean install'
from the top-level Struts 2 source directory, the assembly will use
wget on the command line to mirror the wiki. This takes a while :)
It's kind of a pain when you just want to make some incremental
changes. I haven't made any changes yet and I will make sure that the
release process remains easy, but we also need to keep development
easy too!
