I am curious about this too. I do know of the staging repository

of the release plugin [1] but I have not actually used it yet. I don't
"think" it does everything you are looking for.
The pro version of Nexus has a staging suite [2] and this probably has
what you are looking for but isn't free ;-).
It's free for Apache projects, or any other OSS projects.

Subject: How can one handle release candidates in Maven?
What I would like to be able to do with Maven is:
Create an SVN tag, e.g. myproject-0.9-RC1 from current code
in trunk (or perhaps a branch)
Create and test the release candidate from the tag.
Publish the release candidate somewhere temporarily so others
can check if the release candidate is OK.
If there are problems, fix the trunk (or branch) and create a
new tag, e.g. myproject-0.9-RC2. Repeat as needed.
Suppose RC3 is OK, then the artifacts need to be renamed (if
necessary) to remove the -RC3 suffix, and published to the
release repository.
The tag is also renamed, i.e. myproject-0.9-RC3 => myproject-0.9
The end result is a published release (without RC suffix).
The idea behind this is to ensure that the tag URL alone is
sufficient to identify the exact contents used to create the
release, and that the artifacts that are published are
identical to the ones that were checked (apart perhaps from
the file names).
Is this possible using Maven?
