Re: [seam-dev] Release process

The challenge we have is to find a release process that is compatible with the Maven release plugin. I understand the concerns about having a buggy final release, and I agree with them. I also like the idea of (b), however for this *particular* release we can't continue releasing CR's ad infinitum as we've already promised a (way overdue) release date. For future releases we can most likely go with option (b), however for the time being (i.e. for the 3.0 final release) we're just going to have to do our best to fix all of the issues that we discover in CR3 before we go final. At this point in time, I'm assuming that we're going to have to do a 3.0.1 release within a few weeks of 3.0.0 anyway, as Seam 3 is essentially a new, unproven project. For that release, let's see if we can make option (b) work for us.
