You mean bootstrap first, then use that build to run release:prepare...?

Hi,

I'm working release planning, and I want to define how we actually build Maven for a release.

For me it essentially boils down to:

Use the last bootstrap version of the build to produce the version of Maven for the given release.

I think this lets us remain internally self-consistent, and avoids the previous release problem. If we use the last stable version of Maven we get into the problem of requiring all those versions if you really wanted to start from scratch. I think this makes it self- contained and will keep the Linux distro people happy because they can build everything from source.

If no one has any objections I'm going to build this into the release plan for 2.1 and codify it in Hudson.

Thanks,

Jason
