Hi,

Within the MicroProfile project, we are about to do the first release
within the Eclipse Foundation. None of the committers has experience from
other projects within Eclipse but some of us have experience with the
release process within the Apache Foundation.

In particular, we'd like to be able to release final artifacts in 2 stages:
 - "review" stage, where all artifacts are built and published for
reviewers together with the source code revision used to build the artifacts
 - "go public" stage, which follows after reviewers accept the artifacts
and agree to publish the release

This workflow is supported within the Apache Fnd using the special feature
of Nexus, which can create a temporary repository just for a specific group
of deployed artifacts, project committers can access this repository via
the web interface and have the ability to press a button to accept the
artifacts and deploy them to the main repository, removing the temporary
staging repository. It really just adds an additional step before artifacts
are released to the main repository.

Is anyone using a similar workflow with an Eclipse project? Can Eclipse
webmasters investigate if we can use the ability of Nexus to create
temporary staging repositories to support this workflow?

Cheers,
Ondrej
