Releasing SAMOA 0.3.0-incubating

[Gianmarco De Francisci Morales <gd...@apache.org>]

A bit late, but we are almost ready for the first Apache release.

I am waiting for INFRA to configure the Nexus repository for the artifacts.
In the meanwhile, I fixed all the files needed for the release (or at
least, I hope so, SAMOA-37 <https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SAMOA-37>
).

There are two outstanding PRs that need to be merged before the release,
SAMOA-34 and SAMOA-36. If somebody can have a look at them it would be
great.
In the meanwhile, I managed to prepare the release artifacts (the source
distribution).
It seems we have some problem with the maven javadoc plugin (seems
something related to MJAVADOC-398
<https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/MJAVADOC-398>). It craps out without
finding the right dependencies.
I have disabled the automatic creation of the Javadoc for the release, as
we have to publish it manually on the website anyway.

I'll post the RC and a VOTE thread as soon as the PRs are in and I have
tested the deployment of the artifacts.

Cheers,

We are now able to deploy binary artifacts to the Apache nexus instance.
Yay!
I tried deploying locally and it works. Also configured the auto-deploy in
Travis CI, but need to test it.

Configuration has been prepared, now we can:
* Deploy snapshot artifacts into repository
https://repository.apache.org/content/repositories/snapshots/org/apache/samoa/
(already
deployed the first snapshot from master)
* Deploy release artifacts into the staging repository
https://repository.apache.org/service/local/staging/deploy/maven2 (login
required, it is linked to your Apache id)
* Promote staged artifacts into repository 'Releases'
* Download snapshot and release artifacts from group
https://repository.apache.org/content/groups/public
* Download snapshot, release and staged artifacts from staging group
https://repository.apache.org/content/groups/staging
