I just want to say a major thanks for the entire Maven team.   

Maven 2.0.5 is pretty exciting in itself, but all the other "behind the 
scenes" stuff that was developed to support/produce this release is fantastic 
work and doesn't get the attention it deserves in this announcement.   The 
work they did on the release process should benifit any enterprise level 
Maven user as well other open source projects using Maven.

I'm talking about things like:
maven-gpg-plugin  - digitally signs the artifacts. Requirement for apache 
projects and others.

maven-remote-resources-plugin - allows injection of common resources (like 
licenses, disclaimers, etc...) into all the jars.   For apache projects, 
created the apache-jar-resource-bundle and 
apache-incubator-disclaimer-resource-bundle for those common artifacts.

Updating the release procedures to support "staging" of releases for 
inspection before being promoted to the final repository.

repositorytools-maven-plugin (at mojo/codehaus) for doing that promotion.


I know that I learned a LOT following all the discussions around the efforts 
that went into all of the above.   

Anyway, a "really big thanks" to all the Maven developers for their hard work.  
 
(and for putting up with me voting -1 on everything.  I know I can be a pain 
in the butt some times)   ;-)
