Hi Jaikumar,
the functionality of the release plugin is described here:
http://maven.apache.org/plugins/maven-release-plugin/introduction.html
The plugin assumes that you use a scm system like Subversion or cvs and have
got an internal
repository in your company for releases.
Assume your project has got version 1.2-SNAPSHOT and you think its time to make
this
version of the project available to others. So you run the release plugin. The
plugin will add a tag to your
scm (for example 1.2), will create the artifact (for example
my-project-1.2.jar) and will
upload the artifact to your internal repository. It will also create additional
pom and
checksum files in your internal repository.
Others can now use your released version as dependency in their project.
Hope this helps. If I missed the point of the question i apologise ;-)
Cheers,
michael
