The Apache Maven team is pleased to announce the release of the Apache Maven Release Plugin, version 2.5.2.

This plugin is used to release a project with Maven, saving a lot of repetitive, manual work. Releasing a project is made in two steps: prepare and perform.

You should specify the version in your project's plugin configuration:

1<plugin>
2  <groupId>org.apache.maven.plugins</groupId>
3  <artifactId>maven-release-plugin</artifactId>
4  <version>2.5.2</version>
5</plugin>
