**[Markus Karg](https://issues.apache.org/jira/secure/ViewProfile.jspa?name=mkarg)** commented This POM is not part of a regular lifecycle but was written to provide a simple means for a non-Maven-aware project manager to upload to Maven Central manually. It shall spare him from the need to type in the parameters needed for deploy:deploy-file. He actually builds using ANT currently. When he wants to release finally, he modifies the version number POM by hand, then invokes "mvn deploy" when he wants to publish the final release. This is a first step toward replacing ANT by Maven, which will need several weeks of work due to the complexity of the ANT build. We started by providing him this one, as publishing to Maven Central is the sole thing his ANT script does not do currently. -- This is an automated message from the Apache Git Service.
