[ANN] Apache Maven Release Plugin 2.4.2 Released

[Robert Scholte <co...@sourcegrounds.com>]

The Apache Maven team is pleased to announce the release of the Apache  
Maven Release Plugin, version 2.4.2

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:

<plugin>
   <groupId>org.apache.maven.plugins</groupId>
   <artifactId>maven-release-plugin</artifactId>
   <version>2.4.2</version>
</plugin>

directory
     * [MRELEASE-832] - When performing a release, username and password  
parameters are ignored.
