There is some magic in the maven release plugin. So far I haven't been able to test or use it. But according to specs it should automagically create a signed release, strip the -SNAPSHOT part and publish the release on the listed artifact server. The artifact server will recognize that it is a release (or actually that it is not a snapshot) and make it available on the release artifact store.
