Actually it looks like the link David sent us has the information. The
release plugin provides a mechanism to deploy to a staging area.

The catch is that migrating from the staging area to a production
repository. A quick excerpt follows:

"Once the release is deemed fit for public consumption it can be transferred
to a production repository where it will be available to all users.
Currently the tools to do this are inconvenient so if you want to stage a release you can contact Jason and he'll show you how to do it. Otherwise you
can release directly to a production repository."

I'd assume the Jason in mentioned is Jason van Zyl (the only Jason on the team list for the maven-release plugin). I sent him an email asking about
it.

In any event the release plugin warrants a closer look.

Hi Marc,

I'll plead ignorance on this. I'd like to have some feedback from the
maven incubator experts here. I'm copying the maven user list in case
they can shed some light.

Perhaps we need a new maven-incubator-release plugin that allows you
to deploy to a ~mikedd repository that has no official standing and
then copy the artifacts to the real repository after it's been
approved by the incubator.

It's hard for me to imagine, though, that the maven release plugin
doesn't accommodate the need to deploy all of the release artifacts
to a staging location for testing by the community, prior to making
it generally available on the mirrors.

It might be good for some of us openjpa folks to thoroughly examine
the maven release plugin to see how they intended this to work...
