Description

a) Let’s dependencyManage every org.apache.streams dependency in
> streams-examples in the
> examples root pom to a property ${streams.version}
> b) Let’s update that property from x.y-incubating-SNAPSHOT
> to x.y-incubating with a manual commit
> prior to running release-prepare. If the release is cancelled, we’ll have
> to rollback past this
> manual change to build from snapshot again.
> c) There are some flags you can pass to release plugin to avoid the
> tedious snapshot resolution;
> let’s add those to the release instructions.
