Hi, this is to inform you and to document the Stanbol release process. The steps described here are just to test and do a local release. It does not upload anything to a server or makes an official release. This process works on my machine so far but perhaps it would be good if someone else could try it, too.
1) To build a Stanbol Framework source release, you need to build the framework source release assembly descriptor first. This is located in /releasing/framework/stanbol-framework-source-release-assembly-descriptor. Do a `mvn install`. 2) To be able to use the official `apache-release` profile, you need to have your PGP configuration done [1][2], because the profile will sign the generated artifacts using your key. 3) Then from the top level folder do a `mvn install -Pframework,apache-release` - this will create the release using the official `apache-release` profile. 4) You should have /target/stanbol-framework-0.9.0-incubating-SNAPSHOT-source-release.[zip|tar.gz] which contains just the sources needed to build the Stanbol Framework. All other sources like engines and the full launcher etc. are excluded. 5) Unpack the source ball and do a `mvn install` to build just the Stanbol Framework from this sources.
