Just type 'maven', that should build the distribution zip files. 
Alternatively you can download them from sourceforge:

I tried, but I couldn't get the dist plugin to work for multiproject. I 
want a single distribution file, not one for each subproject. The is no 
multiproject:dist goal that would do this, and the dist plugin does not 
take subprojects into account either (don't include the target 
directories of subprojects in the src distribution, etc).

At some point I gave up, figured out the standard maven property names 
from the dist plugin's jelly code and essentially wrote an Ant script 
inside maven.xml to finally get the release out the door.

Vincent, you have commit priviliges, feel free to fix away on the build 
process. I'd be happy to learn how to do things correctly with Maven, 
but I don't have the time to continue learning it the hard way.

Cheers,
