Mat, I would suggest getting familiar with the code base in trunk. Can the code be released as is or are there problems? Should some issues in Jira be fixed for this release?
Major releases like a 2.0 from 1.x are the only time APIs can break binary compatibility which means that the package name must change and the Maven coords as well. Does the current code even warrant the 2.0 label or would a 1.x dump be a better representation of what is in trunk? The Clirr report should tell us if there are compatibility issues. Are the Maven reports generates in target/site/ come up clean (by running 'mvn clean site'). I'm not even sure if this project uses PMD, FindBugs, Corbetura, and Checkstyle. If it does not, it probably should. Lot of details, I know...
