+Resolve all SNAPSHOT dependencies in the branch against release versions. This includes the modules themselves.

+### Rolling Out The Preview	
+	
+Publish the preview using **./run.sh roll binaries legal releasenotes preview** - You can run these tasks like so, or individually in order.
+It will be likely that this will have to be repeated several times before a successful vote.
+
+	Note: Before running the above ensure you either have:
+
+	 - A valid tomee-release.properties from the last release in your home directory (Speak to the last release manager).
+	 - Or have modified **tomee-release-tools/src/main/java/org/apache/openejb/tools/release/Release.java** with current versions and rebuilt.

+Ensure the TCK passes with preview repositories by editing and ensuring paths are correct in the following files:

+	\tckbranch\plus.properties
+	\tckbranch\pom.xml
+	\tckbranch\webprofile-plus.properties
