We're using an automated build system to do all builds of our projects, and many others do the same. This works great for the snapshot builds, but we'd like the build system to do the official release builds as well. The automated system always gets the head and builds that, but when releasing the release pom is only checked in long enough to get tagged, then the next snapshot version is checked in. This is good behavior and is fine. It seems the release plugin and everything else I've read suggests that the user doing the prepare release would then build the official release artifact immediately after on his own machine. We'd really prefer that these are built on the machine doing the automated builds (preferably by the automated build system somehow). Does Continuum allow for this sort of thing? Is anyone else doing this or trying to do this? ..David..
