I don't really understand this - are not both the profiles ("rc" and
"release") we have "proper profiles" - just with a different
distribution destination? I tried with both.
Clearly you know more about this than me - but from what I could see
my attempts to release were frustrated by two maven bugs 1)
incorrectly picking up the "dummy" repository and 2) a NPE when using
"-Darguments". If this is not the case and it was some screw up by me
then I'd really like to know which bit a did wrong.
