dist goal fails if top level dir does not end in "jdo"
------------------------------------------------------

                 Key: JDO-603
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/JDO-603
             Project: JDO
          Issue Type: Bug
          Components: site and infrastructure
    Affects Versions: JDO 2 maintenance release 1
            Reporter: Michelle Caisse
            Assignee: Michelle Caisse
             Fix For: JDO 2 maintenance release 2


The algorithm used to compute the dist directory requires that the top-level 
directory terminate in the string "jdo". The algorithm is codified in this line 
of trunk/project.properties:
jdo.releases.dir = ${basedir.substring(0, 
basedir.lastIndexOf('jdo'))}jdo/releases

This, for example, takes c:/jdoFooBar/branches/2.1.1 and converts it to 
c:/jdo/releases. It will fail completely for c:/code/branches/2.1.1.

A fix allowing an arbitrary string as the local tree top level directory is 
difficult because it needs to work for both <topdir>/trunk/ and 
<topdir>/branches/<version>. The solution is to document the requirements for 
the directory name in <topdir>/HowToReleaseJDO.html.
