release-prepare - the release plugin will build and test your project then tag it. release-perform -check out the code from the tag and build the artifact and test it and then deploy it essentially a maven repository is just a cache of prebuilt tags, you can always rebuild an artifact by providing the tag path to release-perform once you are in the habit of releasing and set up some aliases or batch files its painless, -- Michael McCallum Enterprise Engineer mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
