[Clirr-devel] Preparing Release 0.5

[<lak...@t-...>]

Hi,

I'm currently on vacation so I have some time to work on clirr (yay!). 
Given that we have two significant enhancements, I'd like to release 
version 0.5 in the next few days.

Problem is, even with Vincent's multiproject instructions from 
11/10/2004 I still don't know how to do a release properly. Probably my 
fault (seems I'm a bit dense when it comes to Maven).

I see that maven2 has improved support for multiprojects (one of the new 
features is "/Built-in multiple project handling/"), but I haven't tried 
it. Will m2 finally allow me to tag 0.5, do a fresh checkout and then 
just do a "m2 whatever" in the toplevel project and have the site 
deployed and distributables ready for upload to sourceforge?

Should we try to move to m2 or does that create more problems than it 
solves? Currently we need maven.xml to generate the test input jars - 
would it still be possible to script this or do we have to create a 
"create-clirr-testinputs" plugin for that (a third subproject)?

Regards,
Lars
