Performing a release

This is my cheat sheet for doing a release.

Prepare

Ensure that .m2/settings.xml contains the GitHub credentials:

<server>
  <id>github</id>
  <password><!-- access key --></password>
</server>

mvn release:clean release:prepare release:perform

Head over to https://oss.sonatype.org/ and do the release

git checkout <tag>
# prepare and maybe modify site.xml
mvn site -Ppages
git checkout master
