Hey all,

Here's an update at my attempt to release. I'm not sure what got through
to the list so I may be a little redundant.

The short news is: success.

Earlier this week I spent a night trying a test release of 2.3.0, mostly
to learn and partly to see where we blocked. The good news is that I
managed to generate all three elements: the bin, the src and the javadoc
zipball. It therefore appears that we *can* make a complete release.

Problems I had:

1) the src/ folder was not yet in 2.3.x but should be. I hope someone
has committed that folder to the build and to trunk/

2) the pom.xml which is generated in target/checkout/ (? not sure that
was the location) was missing the groupID and version numbers in the
assembler section so this maven plugin couldn't be found

3) running mvn javadoc:javadoc *after* the rest means that the tag on
the generated javadocs is one step later than the code released. I was
releasing 2.3.0-M1 and the javadocs ended up being 2.3.0-M2-SNAPSHOT

everything else seemed to work. 


I tried to protect the release process by creating my own branch but
still uploaded a bunch of stuff to lists.refractions.net. So there are
some 2.3.0-M1 fragments out in the wild.

I'm unfortunately on the move again so I probably won't be somewhere
with a stable internet connection for the near future. However, I'd like
to try my hand at making a formal release soon to see if you all have
indeed fixed the build process. 

cheers,
adrian
