 Howto release via maven release plugin:
-  
-  1 One time setup steps:
-    Windows:
-    1 Create and install a SSH key
-      1 Install PuTTY
-      2 Use PuttyGen to create a SSH key and export the key as openssh key
-      3 Use PuTTY to ssh to people.apache.org
-      4 Create a ~/.ssh folder
-      5 Use pscp your SSH public key to ~/authorized_keys
-      6 Configure putty to use your private key and save the session
-      7 Check you can login people.apache.org with your key
 
-    2 Install cygwin
-      1 Install CygWin 
-      2 Use ssh to login to people.apache.org . This is needed to get the correct entry in your known_hosts file
-      3 Copy the known_hosts file  to your $(homedir)/.ssh/ 
- 
-    Linux / Unix:
-    1 Create and install a SSH key
-      1 Install ssh ( this should be installed by default on must linux / unix systems)
-      2 Use "ssh-keygen -t dsa" to generate a new private/public key
-      3 Use ssh to login people.apache.org and add the content of "~/.ssh/id_dsa.pub" (local) to "~/.ssh/authorized_keys" (people.apache.org) 
-      4 Check you can login people.apache.org via your private key
-      
-    2 Some linux version (e.g: kubuntu 7) uses an hashed version of the known_hosts file.
-      This file is not understood by maven. So the easiest thing is to run an interactive maven command
-      using the ssh access to people.apache.org.
-      mvn deploy:deploy-file
-         \ -Durl=scp://people.apache.org/home/$(YOURHOME)/public_html/a-random-repository 
-         \ -DrepositoryId=a_random.id 
-         \ -Dfile=path_to_a_local_file.jar
-         \ -DgroupId=org.some.group
-         \ -DartifactId=your-artifact
-         \ -Dversion=1.0
-         \ -Dpackaging=jar
-      This will try connecting via ssh to people.apache.org and interactively will ask you to accept the new
-      host key.
-      Run this a second time and it HAVE TO work without asking anything. If it keep asking to accept
-      the key for an unknown host you will not be able to make the release.
-
-
-
-    General:
-    1 Install Apache Maven 2.0.6+ and make its binary 'mvn' available on your PATH.
-  
-    2 Create a settings.xml in your .m2 directory with the following content:
-  
-      <settings xmlns="http://maven.apache.org/POM/4.0.0"
-              xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"
-              xsi:schemaLocation="http://maven.apache.org/POM/4.0.0 http://maven.apache.org/xsd/settings-1.0.0.xsd">
-          <servers>
-             <server>
-                <id>people.apache.org</id>
-                <username>$(USERNAME)</username>
-                <privateKey>$(PRIVATE_KEY)</privateKey>
-                <passphrase>$(PASSPHRASE)</passphrase>
-                <directoryPermissions>775</directoryPermissions>
-                <filePermissions>644</filePermissions>
-             </server>
-          </servers>    
-          <profiles>
-              <profile>
-                  <id>release</id>
-                  <properties>
-                      <deploy.altRepository>people.apache.org::default::scp://people.apache.org/home/$(USERNAME)/public_html/staging-repository</deploy.altRepository>
-                  </properties>
-              </profile>
-          </profiles>
-      </settings>
-  
-      Replace $(USERNAME) with the username you use to login people.apache.org, $(PRIVATE_KEY) with the path to your private openssh key and $(PASSPHRASE) with your passphrase. 
-      Just remove the passphrase config option if your private key is not encrypted with one.
-  
-  
-    2 Do the release with maven:
-    
-    This steps will build, sign and upload the releases
-    
-      Prepare:
-      1 Login to minotaur (people.apache.org) via ssh. 
-      2 Clean up your staging-repository via: 'rm -r ~/staging-repository/org/apache/james/*' 
-        If this fails, you have probally not the needed directory structure in place. Create it via: 'mkdir -p ~/staging-repository/org/apache/james/'
-      3 Copy the "old" published builds to staging-repository (this is needed to get the right meta data) via: 
-        'cp -r /www/people.apache.org/repo/m2-ibiblio-rsync-repository/org/apache/james/* ~/staging-repository/org/apache/james/'
-    
-        
-      
-      General:
-      1 Move to the root folder of the project:
-      2 Use ' mvn -Plocal,release release:prepare -Dgpg.keyname=$(YOURKEYNAME) -Dgpg.passphrase=$(YOURPASSPHRASE) -Darguments="-Dgpg.keyname=$(YOURKEYNAME) -Dgpg.passphrase=$(YOURPASSPHRASE)" ' to prepare the release
-      3 Use ' mvn -Plocal,release release:perform -Dgoals=deploy -Darguments="-Dgoals=deploy" ' to finally perfom all needed steps to finish the release stuff
-      4 If the step 3 does not work try this more verbose
-        ' mvn -Plocal,release release:perform -Dgoals=deploy -Dgpg.keyname=$(YOURKEYNAME) -Dgpg.passphrase=$(YOURPASSPHRASE) -Darguments="-Dgoals=deploy -Dgpg.keyname=$(YOURKEYNAME) -Dgpg.passphrase=$(YOURPASSPHRASE)" '
-      
-      Now all should be done the next time with only this two maven commands
-      
-      
-    3 Publish the release as maven artifact
-      
-    This steps will make the artifact's aviable in maven repositories. Get sure the VOTE has passed and the release should get official
-      
-      Publish:
-      1 Copy the artifact's the maven repo via: 'cp -r ~/staging-repository/org/apache/james/* /www/people.apache.org/repo/m2-ibiblio-rsync-repository/org/apache/james/'
-      2 Get some coffee and wait till the artifact's get synced across the mirrors (this can take some time).
