Yes, and you can also make them available on ibiblio as the Maven =
repository
also supports distributions (under <groupd id>/distributions/*). But =
then it
probably makes more sense to use the SF download area for this, I agree.

I had given you a URL in my original email. It gives command lines.
Basically there are 2: one to modify the changes.xml and project.xml =
files
and to tag (maven scm:prepare-release or something like this) and =
another
one for checking out the tag, doing the build and deploying (maven
scm:deploy-release or something like this).

Sure. What I was saying was that there is a window of opportunity for =
Clirr
by doing a m2 plugin. M2 has lots of visibility and lots of users. =
That's
provided you wish to make it an even more successful project, with more
users, committers, etc. Really, I was just highlighting a way to =
"market"
clirr, nothing more.

With m2? Yes and no. No, because you now need to developer a plugin for
doing anything non-standard. That said, most use cases should be catered
for.
