> Improve staging support
> -----------------------

>                 Key: MRELEASE-391
>                 URL: http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/MRELEASE-391
>             Project: Maven 2.x Release Plugin
>          Issue Type: New Feature
>          Components: prepare
>    Affects Versions: 2.0-beta-8
>            Reporter: Arnaud Heritier
>   Original Estimate: 3 days
>  Remaining Estimate: 3 days

> By default the plugin with release:prepare and release:perform deploys project's artifacts and website in the final location.
> release:prepare and release:stage mojos deploys them in a staging environment to validate the before the submission in the final environment.
> The problem is that we have nothing in the release plugin to move artifacts (and website) from the staging environment to the final one.
> In my case I would like to have only one staging repository (and not one for each release like actually). (And I don't have -yet - nexus with its support for staging operations : http://blogs.sonatype.com/people/brian/2008/11/20/announcing-nexus-maven-repository-manager-pro-beta/ :-) )
> The stage plugin has several limitations. We cannot select which groupId/artifactId/version to copy (the entire repository is copied) and even if we could define them this plugin cannot know which artifacts were deployed in the release:stage mojo.
> I propose to add a mojo (release:record-artifacts) called by release:stage to record all artifacts deployed. We could append it in goals called by the mojo in the forked maven launch. The mojo will create a file (properties or xml) where it stores all artifacts attached in the project and deployed in the staging environment. At the end of the release:stage mojo, this file will be deployed to the staging repository within the reactor groupId/artifactId/version used to release the project (or we can store it only locally like the release:properties file, but it could be useful to allow someone else than the one who staged deliveries to publish in the final repository).
> We add another mojo (release:publish) which downloads the list of artifacts. After parsing it it download all artifacts and deploy them in the final repository (merging metadata if necessary).
