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
