Hi Martin, thanks for taking the time to do this; all useful. Comments below.
Annoyingly, I'm going to have to pull 1.7.0-RC1, as I found a minor defect when testing last night. So - if you want - you could try out these revised procedures when I send out the next vote email.

OK, now fixed (see wording in 'Start voting thread on [email protected]" section in http://isis.apache.org/contributors/release-process.html) You were right; although those URLs are ok for downloading the source, they aren't actually a Maven staging repo. I don't know if this changed with an upgrade to Nexus, or was always wrong, but at any rate the URLs now referenced can be used both for download of source ZIPs and also as Maven repos. I've also updated the http://isis.apache.org/contributors/verifying-releases.html page to explain how to setup the settings.xml (for those not acquainted with the mystical workings of Maven). > > > > I hope you find my notes useful ! > > Thanks again! > > Martin Grigorov > Wicket Training and Consulting > https://twitter.com/mtgrigorov >
