I think the build & release procedure could be a bit simplified: mvn -Pdist clean install - profile dist includes dockbook, javadoc, distribution zips creation Run standalone JAX-RS TCK - docker image for it to avoid a bit complex local setup? mvn release:prepare mvn release:perform Upload src, docs and distro zips to downloads.jboss.org WDYT ?
