+# Maven Release Script
+
+This directory contains a JBang-based script to automate the Apache Maven 
release process, providing a "2-click" release workflow while maintaining 
security and following Apache procedures.
+
+## Implementation
+
+- **`Release.java`** - JBang-based release automation script
+- Modern Java implementation with proper dependency management
+- Uses Picocli for professional command-line interface
+- Full IDE support and debugging capabilities
+- Familiar to Maven developers who work with Java daily
+
+## Quick Start
+
+```bash
+# Install JBang if not already installed
+curl -Ls https://sh.jbang.dev | bash -s - app setup
+
+# Run the release script
+jbang src/scripts/Release.java setup
+jbang src/scripts/Release.java start-vote 4.0.0-rc-4
+jbang src/scripts/Release.java publish 4.0.0-rc-4
+```
+
+## Overview
+
+The release process is managed with two main commands:
+
+1. **Start Release Vote** - Prepares and stages the release, then generates 
vote email
+2. **Publish Release** - After successful vote, publishes the release
+
+## Prerequisites
+
+### Required Tools
+- JBang (for running the script)
+- Maven 3.3.9+
+- Java 17+ (for building Maven 4.x)
+- GPG (for signing)
+- Subversion (for Apache dist area)
+- GitHub CLI (`gh`)
+- `jq` (for JSON processing)
+
+### Required Permissions
+- Apache committer access
+- Maven PMC membership (for some operations)
+- Apache Nexus staging permissions
+- Apache SVN commit access to dist area
+
+### Environment Setup
+
+1. **Install GitHub CLI and authenticate:**
+   ```bash
+   # Install gh: https://cli.github.com/
+   gh auth login
+   ```
+
+2. **Set environment variables:**
+   ```bash
+   export APACHE_USERNAME="your-apache-id"
+   export GPG_KEY_ID="your-gpg-key-id"
+
+   # Optional: For automatic email sending
+   export GMAIL_USERNAME="your-em...@gmail.com"
+   export GMAIL_APP_PASSWORD="your-app-password"
+   ```
+
+3. **Configure Maven settings:**
+   - Set up `~/.m2/settings.xml` with Apache credentials
+   - See: 
https://maven.apache.org/developers/release/maven-project-release-procedure.html
+
+4. **Configure Gmail (Optional - for automatic email sending):**
+   - Enable 2-factor authentication on your Gmail account
+   - Generate an app password: 
https://support.google.com/accounts/answer/185833
+   - Set environment variables with your Gmail address and app password
+
+5. **Run setup script:**
+   ```bash
+   jbang src/scripts/Release.java setup
+   ```
+
+## Usage
+
+### Starting a Release Vote
+
+```bash
+jbang src/scripts/Release.java start-vote 4.0.0-rc-4
+```
+
+This script will:
+- Validate release readiness
+- Build and test the project
+- Prepare the release using Maven release plugin
+- Stage artifacts to Apache Nexus
+- Stage documentation
+- Copy source release to Apache dist area (staged, not committed)
+- Generate vote email with GitHub milestone and release notes
+
+**Output:**
+- `vote-email-<version>.txt` - Email to send to d...@maven.apache.org
+- Staged artifacts in Nexus
+- Staged documentation
+- Source release staged in Apache dist area
+- Staging info saved in `target/staging-repo-<version>` and 
`target/milestone-info-<version>`
+
+### Publishing a Release (After Successful Vote)
+
+```bash
+jbang src/scripts/Release.java publish 4.0.0-rc-4
+```
+
+This script will:
+- Validate vote results (interactive prompts)
+- Promote staging repository to Maven Central
+- Commit source release to Apache dist area
+- Deploy versioned website documentation
+- Close GitHub milestone and create next one
+- Publish GitHub release from draft
+- Generate announcement email
+
+**Output:**
+- `announcement-<version>.txt` - Email to send for announcement
+- Published artifacts in Maven Central
+- Published documentation
+- GitHub release published
+- Optional: Automatic email sending via Gmail
+
+### Cancelling a Release Vote
+
+```bash
+jbang src/scripts/Release.java cancel 4.0.0-rc-4
+```
+
+This command will:
+- Prompt for cancellation reason
+- Generate and optionally send cancel email to d...@maven.apache.org
+- Drop the staging repository from Nexus
+- Clean up staged files from Apache dist area
+- Remove Git release tags and Maven release plugin files
+- Clean up staging info files
+
+**Output:**
+- `cancel-email-<version>.txt` - Email to send for cancellation
+- All staging artifacts and files removed
+
+## Commands
+
+### Available Commands
+
+- **`setup`** - One-time environment setup and validation
+- **`start-vote <version>`** - Start release vote (Click 1)
+- **`publish <version> [staging-repo-id]`** - Publish release after vote 
(Click 2)
+- **`cancel <version>`** - Cancel release vote and clean up
+- **`help`** - Show help information
+
+### Command Details
+
+All functionality is contained within the single `release.sh` script. The 
script automatically handles:
+
+- Environment validation
+- GitHub milestone and release notes integration
+- Maven release preparation and staging
+- Apache distribution area management
+- Website deployment
+- GitHub release publishing
+- Email generation and sending (via Gmail)
+
+## GitHub Integration
+
+The scripts are designed to work with:
+
+- **GitHub Issues** (instead of JIRA)
+- **GitHub Milestones** for tracking releases
+- **Release Drafter** for generating release notes
+- **GitHub Releases** for publishing releases
+
+### Milestone Management
+
+- Scripts automatically find milestones by version number
+- Closed milestones show resolved issues count
+- New milestones are created for next version
+- Supports both exact matches and partial matches
+
+### Release Notes
+
+- Release notes are extracted from GitHub release drafts
+- Release Drafter should be configured to maintain draft releases
+- Manual release notes can be added to drafts before starting vote
+
+### Email Automation
+
+The script can automatically send emails via Gmail SMTP:
+
+- **Vote emails** are sent to `d...@maven.apache.org`
+- **Announcement emails** are sent to appropriate lists based on release type:
+  - RC releases: `annou...@maven.apache.org`, `us...@maven.apache.org`
+  - Final releases: `annou...@apache.org`, `annou...@maven.apache.org`, 
`us...@maven.apache.org`
+- **Gmail setup required:**
+  - Enable 2-factor authentication
+  - Generate app password: https://support.google.com/accounts/answer/185833
+  - Set `GMAIL_USERNAME` and `GMAIL_APP_PASSWORD` environment variables
+- **Fallback:** If Gmail not configured, emails are generated as files for 
manual sending
+
+## JBang Benefits
+
+- **Familiar to Java developers** - Uses Java syntax and libraries Maven 
developers know
+- **Better IDE support** - Full IntelliJ/Eclipse support with debugging, 
refactoring, etc.
+- **Dependency management** - Automatic dependency resolution via Maven 
coordinates
+- **Type safety** - Compile-time error checking and better error messages
+- **Modern CLI** - Uses Picocli for professional command-line interface
+- **JSON handling** - Native Jackson support for GitHub API responses
+- **HTTP client** - Modern Apache HttpClient for email sending
+- **Maintainability** - Easier to extend and modify for Java developers
+
+### Staging Repository Management
+
+- Staging repository ID is automatically saved to 
`target/staging-repo-<version>`
+- Milestone info is saved to `target/milestone-info-<version>`
+- Files persist across Maven builds (target directory)
+- `publish` command automatically finds staging repo ID
+- Can still provide staging repo ID as argument if files are lost
+- `cancel` command automatically finds and drops staging repository
+
+## Security
+
+- All credentials stay local (no shared secrets)
+- Personal GPG keys used for signing
+- Personal Apache credentials for staging/publishing
+- GitHub CLI handles authentication securely
+
+## Workflow Example
+
+```bash
+# One-time setup
+export APACHE_USERNAME="myapacheid"
+export GPG_KEY_ID="ABCD1234"
+export GMAIL_USERNAME="myem...@gmail.com"  # Optional
+export GMAIL_APP_PASSWORD="myapppassword"  # Optional
+
+# Release workflow
+jbang src/scripts/Release.java setup
+jbang src/scripts/Release.java start-vote 4.0.0-rc-4
+# Wait 72+ hours for vote results...
+jbang src/scripts/Release.java publish 4.0.0-rc-4
+# OR cancel if issues found: jbang src/scripts/Release.java cancel 4.0.0-rc-4
+```
+
+## Troubleshooting
+
+### Common Issues
+
+1. **GPG signing fails**
+   - Ensure GPG_KEY_ID is set correctly
+   - Check GPG key is in secret keyring: `gpg --list-secret-keys`
+
+2. **Nexus staging fails**
+   - Check Maven settings.xml has correct Apache credentials
+   - Verify Nexus permissions
+
+3. **SVN commit fails**
+   - Ensure Apache SVN credentials are configured
+   - Check SVN client is authenticated
+
+4. **GitHub CLI issues**
+   - Re-authenticate: `gh auth login`
+   - Check repository access permissions
+
+### Manual Recovery
+
+If the script fails partway through:
+
+1. **After start-vote fails:**
+   - Clean up with: `mvn release:clean`
+   - Drop staging repository in Nexus UI
+   - Remove any staged files from dist area
+   - Re-run: `jbang src/scripts/Release.java start-vote <version>`
+
+2. **After publish fails:**
+   - Check what steps completed successfully
+   - Manual steps can be performed via GitHub UI
+   - Re-run: `jbang src/scripts/Release.java publish <version> 
<staging-repo-id>`
+
+## Customization
+
+Scripts can be customized for different Apache projects by:
+
+- Updating repository URLs
+- Modifying email templates
+- Adjusting milestone naming conventions
+- Changing documentation deployment paths
+
+## Contributing
+
+When modifying these scripts:
+
+1. Test thoroughly with dry-run modes where available
+2. Follow Apache license headers
+3. Update this README for any new features
+4. Consider backward compatibility
