IMO you should use the manual process - its not that complex and you would have had far less trouble than all the struggling you've been doing with the release plugin. Also the release plugin only does part of the release process and still leaves a whole load to do manually - so the release plugin isn't really saving you much anyway. 1. Update the version number to 2.0.1 in the pom.xml and commit the change 2. Do a subversion update 3. Tag Jexl RC1 4. Check out the Jexl RC1 tag 5. run "mvn -Prc install" on the RC1 checked out code - this creates artifacts, signs and checksums in your local m2 repo 6. run "mvn site" to generate the site (just for review) 7. Upload the RC1 artifacts and site for review to your ASF dir on people.apache.org 8. Call VOTE 9. Copy maven artifacts to http://people.apache.org/repo/m2-ibiblio-rsync-repository/org/apache/commons/commons-jexl/2.0.1 10. Update maven-metadata.xml (and re-create md5 & sha1 checksums) The above is just what replaces the maven release plugin - you also need to do the other stuff in the release guide manually whichever way you do it Niall > Anyone else also interested by the topic?
