Hi Chris, there is a quite detailed explanation of what Apache understands as a release:
http://www.apache.org/dev/release.html Uploading the source JARs to Maven Central is afaik not enough. What UIMA does is, we set up the build so that as part of the Maven build, a ZIP of the checked out sources is done starting from the root of the checkout. It's actually pretty straight. I believe this ZIP is augmented with some license files etc. As part of the release this source ZIP and a corresponding ZIP containing a compiled distribution are uploaded to the Apache mirror system. If you would like to take Apache UIMA as a role model, check out our release guidelines: http://uima.apache.org/release.html And of course our Maven-based build setup which helps us in doing the releases is in the Apache SVN.
