Release Tools

[David Blevins <da...@gmail.com>]

In efforts to both document and automate our release process, I spent the weekend hacking on some tooling.

Another instance of hoping to save time by spending it :)

Still not one big step that does everything, but definitely leaps and bounds better than before.

$ java -jar target/release-tools-1.0-SNAPSHOT.jar 
Commands: 
                        (depends on)
   help                 
   releasenotes         
   tag                  
   deploy               
   close                deploy
   binaries             close
   tck                  close
   legal                close
   vote                 legal, binaries

   from                 dblevins@apache.org
   to                   dev@openejb.apache.org

   build                075


While hacking on the release I wouldn't let myself type any commands and instead coded it up in java and made the program do it.  Not everything is covered yet, as I started in sort of the middle of this release process, but after a few release iterations I suspect we'll have it nailed down.
