Dear friends of Pluto,
Regarding the release process, I recommend the following configuration settings
for the maven-release-plugin:
<plugin>
<groupId>org.apache.maven.plugins</groupId>
<artifactId>maven-release-plugin</artifactId>
<version>2.5.1</version>
<configuration>
<autoVersionSubmodules>true</autoVersionSubmodules>
<pushChanges>false</pushChanges>
<localCheckout>true</localCheckout>
</configuration>
</plugin>
In particular, pushChanges=false provides greater flexibility if the release
process fails.
Best Regards to all,
Neil
