Description

This task is about configuring Gradle to generate pom's and artifacts required to perform a release and update the nightly release snapshot Jenkins jobs found here https://github.com/apache/beam/blob/master/.test-infra/jenkins/job_beam_Release_NightlySnapshot.groovy

We will also require some integration tests to run against the released nightly snapshot artifacts to ensure that what was built is valid.
