Description

Currently there's no way to specify parameters for the release, like JVM version or MAVEN_OPTS. I had a hard time "configuring" Maven to have enough memory during the release (actually I had to add MAVEN_OPTS=-Xmx512m as an environment variable – not a really nice solution).

It would be nice to have a similar build configuration for the release as we have for other builds, with profiles and all. Maybe a default schedule called RELEASE would do.
