If you need an example, you can look at what I did for the ant tasks [1]. The same assembly should work fine for the eclipse plugin. You probably just want to make minor changes for any files that do/don't exist.

I thought we needed to have a fix in the assembly plugin to be able to
release with ASF rules.If we can do it with just some local changes in our
pom, we have to do it.

However I agree with Barry and we cannot loose too many time to do the
release.
Is there someone who can help us to setup the eclipse plugin build to follow
ASF requirements for the release ?

 I think there's no value to block all releases, waiting for this fix.I
agree, support this change, but it won't help our users to have them

all our releases for several weeks.

I don't really understand why fixing a project to produce a proper
source
bundle (e.g. by means of copying one of the existing assembly
descriptors)
would take several weeks...

It should take a few minutes and can be done with the current assembly
release. The changes i made to the plugin are to make it possible to set
this up at a top level pom (maven or asf) and have it do the right thing
for
each build.
The problem is that neither myself or Arnaud have a lot of capacity to
cut another release.

If I can get an explicit and complete set of instructions to build
whatever is required then I can do it.
If I have to spend any time thinking about it or start the release
process again then it will have to wait until I have spare time.

My preference is to:
* update the pom on trunk to include whatever will build the source
distro (this is different than the "-sources.jar") [Note: I dont
really want to change my pom I want the parent pom release profile to
do it for me instead]
* run the command to generate the distro archive from the tag
* deploy the distro

Suggestions?
