Maybe a one-liner to deploy the JAR to a local repository, but to
ready the JARs for public distribution, we also need to sign them and
such. You can do everything that's needed by hand, without Maven, but
it can be a lot of work.

Even at Struts, we don't have the complete Maven build and deploy down
to a one-liner yet. A key bottleneck is that signing the JARs should
not be a fully automatic process, since its not a good idea to embed a
passphrase in a script. So, it's more like three steps: build, sign,
deploy.  But, the same should be true of Ant, if we are being careful
about signing.

The broader purpose of this is not just to see if we can get jars into maven
but rather to see if maven can simplify our build/release process. If you
have a one liner then that is great. I'd love to see it.
