The command "mvn -Prc -DcreateChecksum=true install" is taken verbatim
from that very "Create the Release Candidate Website" page, and
neither it, nor that entire script, are working, for either Imaging or
Configuration from the latest SVN trunk.

According to http://www.mail-archive.com/dev@commons.apache.org/msg23476.html
this is a known regression in the maven-assembly-plugin.
A bit of searching finds http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/MASSEMBLY-553
which appears to be the problem.

Workaround (taken from
http://svn.apache.org/viewvc/commons/proper/pool/trunk/pom.xml?revision=1169875&view=markup):

<build>
    <pluginManagement>
      <plugins>
        <plugin>
          <artifactId>maven-assembly-plugin</artifactId>
          <version>2.2-beta-5</version>
        </plugin>
      </plugins>
    </pluginManagement>
</build>

Please add that to the website (or how can I add it?). Also if Plexus
is the current official way of releasing Commons components, why isn't
that documented?

This is now the 3rd build-breaking bug in Maven plugins I've found in
my casual usage...

Thank you
Damjan
