> #release.build.steps=standalone.product,bundle.eclipse,tests
> release.build.steps=standalone.product,tests
> #builders=freemarker,hibernate-tools,core,as,aop,ejb3,jbpm,cache,drools-ide,jbossws
> builders=freemarker,hibernate-tools
>
> The builders property should have your builder and any builders you  
> require,
> in the case of hibernate-tools the only required builder is freemarker.

> 2) The tags file that you create (see step 6 in above wiki) will only

> tests.
> My tags file for a build of Hibernate Tools looks like:
>
> $ cat product/versionTags/3.2.0.beta9.tags
> hibernate-tools=beta9
> freemarker=1.0.0.Beta2
> hibernate-tools.cvs=TOOLS_3_2_0_beta8
> freemarker.cvs=IDE_FREEMARKER_1_0_BETA2
>
> tests=3.2.0.beta9
> tests.cvs=HEAD
>
> In this case I used an old tag just to verify things were working, so Max
> you'd need to change that CVS tag to the one you make for your next  
> release.
