The Apache Maven team is pleased to announce the release of the Maven
Release Plugin, version 2.4.1
This plugin is used to release a project with Maven, saving a lot of
repetitive, manual work. Releasing a project is made in two steps: prepare
and perform.

<plugin>
<groupId>org.apache.maven.plugins</groupId>
<artifactId>maven-release-plugin</artifactId>
<version>2.4.1</version>
</plugin>
