Description

The following points are open

• POM should extend the standard org.apache POM, this would reduce the amount of configuration from our POM.

• POM and jar should be signed when deployed.

• Strictly spoken, the POM itself can/should be voted on (we did vote on the POM as part of the last release)

• We should also deploy a sources / javadoc jar

• Maybe use the maven-ant tasks (http://maven.apache.org/ant-tasks.html) for deployment .
