Just pushed changes[1][2] to the Hibernate ORM build script on master which introduces a new 'release' task. This task coordinates all release related activities, across all the subprojects. One "task" that it explicitly leaves out is any VCS related handling. Mainly this is due to the release-and-then-tag approach I use to cutting releases (see https://community.jboss.org/wiki/ReleasingHibernateCore if you want the details).
Other than that, it: 1) cleans all subprojects 2) tests and publishes (nexus) all subprojects 3) builds documentation (including aggregated JavaDocs and DocBook outputs) and then uploads it to the JBoss doc server using rsync (OS dependent!) 4) builds release distribution bundles and then uploads it to SourceForge FRS 5) announce the build Point (5) is still a work in progress. Ideally, I think it would be great if we could automate announcing a release build via Twitter, Google+ and email. We'd still have the freedom to manually write up "Release Notes" blogs. If anyone knows the Google+ API (https://developers.google.com/+/api/) well-ish and wants to help look at that, any and all help would be appreciated.
