As you well know, I've been working on releasing vfs for what seems like forever. The build using the release plugin took quite a bit of work to get going but now that it works there is no way I'd switch to something more manual. The only problem I have at the moment is that I'm waiting for the SCM plugin vote to pass so I can push out a new release of the release plugin. That is so I can remove the release notes from svn after the tag is cut. Once I have that I will be a happy camper. Ralph
