I'm looking at doing some releases using the maven release plugin. Our environment is a set of pretty typical in house development projects for some web-apps. So we have things like dev, qa and production environments for deployment and frequent releases.

We don't want to cut a release before doing QA on it. So an ideal scenario is to put a snapshot build into QA, and get it approved. Once approved, we would want to release that code, verify that dependency changes didn't break things with regression tests, then move on to staging and production.

A natural concern here is that there are likely more changes to the mainline code base that come in during testing and we would not want to release those. Getting the code that went into the tested build out of source control at release time is not a problem though.

I have two questions:

1) Are there common \ recommended strategies for dealing with this type of scenerio? 2) If I just pull the old code out and run a release, is the SVN label (copy) command a local copy (which would only include the files in my release space) or a remote copy (which would include my newly checked in pom as well as any changes committed since we went to QA)?

Thanks,

Eric
