[Maven-plugins-developer] Releasing docs and a plugin snapshot

[Per O. <po...@no...>]

Hi,

I would like to release a SNAPSHOT version of the upcoming 1.4 of the sdocbook 
plugin to get some feedback before the real 1.4 release. In addition, I would 
like to do a site update of the docs.

This will be the first time for me to do that in maven-plugins project. So, I 
would just hear you guys if these are the correct steps, before performing 
them.

sdocbook plugin release:
How to do that? The sdocbook plugin has a "maven.xml" file, which defines a 
"plugin" goal, which seems to construct a versionen .jar. There are also some 
other goals, but none of them dist anything to remote repository.

I took a peek into was40 and was5 plugins and they have nothing the like of a 
maven.xml.

So, how to release plugin?

Site docs release:
1. standing in top-level dir, doing "maven multiproject"
2. still in top-level, "maven site:deploy"

? this will update all project docs, so I would like to do it correctly :-)

Also, which version of maven are we building with? I'm currently using the 
1.0-RC1 release.
